One of the key predictions of the LMO model is that the lunar highlands crust is mostly made of ferroan anorthosite, having floated to the surface of the molten ocean. Therefore, these findings of ...
But some scientists believe only ice – thought to be preserved deep in craters on the moon’s far side – could potentially support future lunar missions as a water source for astronauts. And ...
As the magma ocean cooled, crystals formed within it. Some rocks and minerals like ferroan anorthosite rose to the top to form the lunar crust and highlands, while other, denser magnesium-rich ...
