This project explores the crystallization process of the Lunar Magma Ocean, which formed after a giant impact on the early Earth. It aims to understand the evolution of the Moon's crust and mantle through experimental studies.
The origin of the Moon has been attributed to a giant impact involving a Mars-sized asteroid and the proto-Earth.
Energy liberated in this catastrophic event was sufficient to melt a substantial portion of the Moon, a likely cause of a global “Lunar Magma Ocean.
This LMO developed early at ca. 4.5 Ga and its crystallization appears to have produced an anorthositic crust and deep cumulate rocks forming the lunar upper mantle, known from their product of partial melting: mare basalts.
