- 8 The Agents of Aging Space Weathering is the physical and chemical changes to the surface of a planetary body that lacks an atmosphere to protect it.
- 9 Impact craters expose underlying material
- 10 How I map mare basalts using "fresh crater probes"
- 11 Front side of Moon mapped
- 12 What are Lunar Squirrels?
- 13 What are Lunar Swirls?
- 14 Associated with magnetic anomalies The Moon does not have a global magnetic field
- 15 Impart no topography
- 16 Are bright & optically immature
- 17 Hypotheses for swirl formation
- 18 My contribution to understanding swirls 3 major results support the hypothesis that the magnetic field prevents the swirl surfaces from weathering at a normal rate
