Scientific Exploration Of The Moon
February 2009, Vol. 5, No. 1
Our current understanding of the Moon’s history, interior structure, and chemical composition is based in large part on geochemical data acquired from samples from the U.S. Apollo and Soviet Luna missions; data acquired by Apollo geophysical instruments; orbital geochemical and spectral data acquired by robotic missions from the U.S., Japan, and China; analysis of lunar meteorites derived from previously unsampled regions of the Moon; and Earth-based radar observations and infrared spectral reflectance data. All of these efforts have contributed to a preliminary understanding of the origin of the Moon and the processes that have affected its surface and interior. Isotopic analyses of impact-generated samples have placed constraints on the time-dependent meteorite flux that not only affected the Moon but also the Earth and other objects in the inner solar system. In this issue of Elements, leading scientists discuss the major concepts that underpin our current understanding of the Moon, as well as scientific plans for international scientific exploration by robotic and human missions.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.
