摘要: Unusual swirl patterns of bright and dark material on the Moon Mercury are proposed to be remnants collisions with gas/dust-rich regions within a cometary coma. This interpretation provides important new clues for understanding fine structure, impact effects low-density material, origin certain pronounced magnetic anomalies.
