摘要: [1] We used a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) global monochrome Wide-angle (WAC) mosaic to conduct survey of the Moon search for previously unidentified pyroclastic deposits. Promising locations were examined in detail using LROC multispectral WAC mosaics, high-resolution Narrow Angle (NAC) images, and Clementine (ultraviolet-visible or UVVIS) data. Out 47 potential deposits chosen closer examination, 12 selected as probable newly identified Potential generally found settings similar deposits, including areas within near mare adjacent highlands, floor-fractured craters, along fissures However, significant new finding is discovery localized craters Anderson E F on lunar farside, isolated from other known Our confirms that most major regional low-albedo have been down ∼100 m/pix resolution, additional are likely be either small portions discontinuous, patchy
