Three-dimensional shape distribution of lunar regolith particles collected by the Apollo and Luna programs
Abstract The shapes of regolith particles on airless bodies, such as the Moon and asteroids, are important to understand their formation and evolution on surfaces. Limited studies have shown that the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of lunar regolith particles are, on average, more equant (spherical) t...
