  • Lunar dust motion 
    Criswell, David R. (Pergamon Press, 1972)
    Surveyor 7 photographed a bright glow along the western lunar horizon one hour after local sunset. This horizon glow must result from the forward scattering of sunlight by a swarm of dust grains extending 3 to 30 centimeters ...
  • Lunar dust transport by photoelectric charging at sunset 
    Pelizzari , Michael A.; Criswell, David R. (Pergamon Press, 1978)
    The motion of dust grains from a photoelectrically charged object at the moon's sunset terminator is studied with the aid of a simple model. It is shown that sunlit objects ranging in size from less than 0.01 cm to 5 cm ...
  • Lunar eastern hemisphere 
    Kinsler, Danny C. (Lunar Science Institute, 1977-08)

    Kinsler, Danny C. (Lunar Science Institute, 1977-08)
    Map of the lunar eastern hemisphere showing landing sites.
  • Lunar Heat Flow: Global Predictions and Reduced Heat Flux 
    Siegler, Matthew; Nagihara, Seiichi; Grott, Matthias; Warren, Paul Horton, 1953-; Paige, David A.; Kiefer, Walter S.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6741-5460; Smrekar, Suzanne E.; Wieczorek, Mark A. (2020)
    Geothermal heat flow is a fundamental measure of the internal composition of a planet. On the Moon (which has lost much of its heat of formation, is not strongly tidally heated, and is not likely to have strong mantle ...
  • Lunar highland rock types : their implications for impact-induced fractionation 
    Phinney, William C.; Warner, Jeffrey L.; Simonds, Charles H. (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1974)
    Lunar rocks may be classified into three major groups: (1) coarse-grained igneous rocks, (2) fine-grained igneous rocks, and (3) breccias. Group 1 is interpreted as primitive lunar crustal rocks that display various degrees ...
  • Lunar impact basins revealed by Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory measurements 
    Neumann, Gregory A.; Zuber, Maria T.; Wieczorek, Mark A.; Head, James W.; Baker, David M. H.; Solomon, Sean C.; Smith, David E.; Lemoine, Frank G.; Mazarico, Erwan; Sabaka, Terence J.; Goossens, Sander J.; Melosh, H. J.; Phillips, R. J.
