A South Pole–Aitken impact origin of the lunar compositional asymmetry
The formation of the largest and most ancient lunar impact basin, South Pole–Aitken (SPA), was a defining event in the Moon's evolution. Using numerical simulations, we show that widespread mantle heating from the SPA impact can catalyze the formation of the long-lived nearside-farside lunar as...

| description | The formation of the largest and most ancient lunar impact basin, South Pole–Aitken (SPA), was a defining event in the Moon's evolution. Using numerical simulations, we show that widespread mantle heating from the SPA impact can catalyze the formation of the long-lived nearside-farside lunar asymmetry in incompatible elements and surface volcanic deposits, which has remained unexplained since its discovery in the Apollo era.
