Separate effects of irradiation and impacts on lunar metallic iron formation observed in Chang’e-5 samples
Nature Astronomy, Published online: 20 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02300-0
A lunar glass bead can preserve nanophase iron (npFe0) of varying sizes via multiple mechanisms. The formation of small and large npFe0 with distinct weathering effects is independently governed by solar wind irradiation and micrometeorite impacts.
