Article Synopsis
- The study examines the elemental composition of the Moon's surface to understand its formation and evolution, utilizing data from multiple lunar missions.
- Recent in situ measurements from India's Chandrayaan-3 mission reveal that the southern high-latitude regions of the Moon are primarily made up of ferroan anorthosite, indicating a history of crystallization from a lunar magma ocean.
- The presence of higher magnesium levels compared to calcium suggests that there is mixing with additional mafic materials, while the consistent composition within the surrounding area lends support to remote sensing data accuracy.
