Chang'e-6 samples reveal how giant asteroid impact affected lunar interior

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team led by Prof. TIAN Hengci from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS) conducted extensive analysis of lunar basalts collected by Chang'e-6 (CE6) from the South Pole–Aitken (SPA) Basin. These samples exhibit significantly heavier potassium (K) isotopic compositions than all previously documented lunar basalts from the Apollo missions and lunar meteorites.
