TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify more than 109,000 previously unrecognized lunar craters and date almost 19,000 craters based on transfer learning with deep neural networks, which results in the identification of 109,956 new craters, which is more than a dozen times greater than the initial number of recognized craters.

TL;DR: Initial spectral observations of the Visible and Near Infrared Spectrometer onboard Yutu-2 are interpreted to represent the presence of low-calcium (ortho)pyroxene and olivine, materials that may originate from the Moon’s mantle.

TL;DR: The CE-4 LPR images provide clear information about the structure of the subsurface, which is primarily made of low-loss, highly porous, granular materials with embedded boulders of different sizes; the images also indicate that the top of the mare basal layer should be deeper than 40 m.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported a precise Pb-Pb ratio of 2,030 ± 4 Ma (million years ago) for basalt clasts returned by the Chang’E-5 mission, and a 238U/204 Pb ratio (µ value) of ~680 for a source that evolved through two stages of differentiation.

TL;DR: The in situ spectral reflectance and elemental analysis of the lunar soil at the landing site suggest that the young basalt could be derived from an ilmenite-rich mantle reservoir and then assimilated by 10–20% of the last residual melt of the Moon's magma ocean.
