Abstract

The anorthite-dominated highlands and the basalt-dominated mare have been bombarded by solar radiation, cosmic rays, charged particles, comets, meteorites, and micrometeorites for over 4.5 billion years, resulting in space weathering at many scales and the collection of interplanetary matter. A majority of the finest fraction (
