First Discovery of Hematite and Maghemite in Chang'e-6 Lunar Soils
Recently, a joint research team from Institute of Geochemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shandong University and Yunnan University, analyzing lunar soil samples returned by the Chang'e-6 mission from the South Pole–Aitken (SPA) Basin, has for the first time discovered crystalline hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and maghemite (γ-Fe₂O₃) formed as a result of a major impact event. This discovery provides direct sample evidence for the presence of highly oxidized materials on... DETAILS...   MORE...
