Special AGU Session
Return to the Moon Latest Science Results
Fall AGU Session P08ConvenersTimothy Stubbs,
Hurley, Bradley Thomson The dawning of a new era
of lunar exploration has served as a reminder
that there is still much to learn from our
closest celestial neighbor. As well as being of
intrinsic interest, the Moon also offers an
invaluable natural laboratory for understanding
fundamental processes throughout the solar
system. The recent international flotilla of
lunar missions, including Kaguya (SELENE),
Chandrayaan-1, Chang'e and SMART-1, have returned
valuable new data that has provided fresh
insights into the Moon. The discoveries will
continue from these missions and upcoming NASA
missions, LRO, LCROSS and LADEE. Together with
these new observations, there has been
significant progress with theoretical modeling of
lunar processes, laboratory simulations and
re-analyses of data from past missions (including
many Apollo-era experiments).    This session
is open to the latest lunar science results from
theoretical modeling, laboratory simulations, and
the analysis of new and old datasets.
Particularly encouraged are presentations that
include observations from recent missions,
activities associated with the newly-formed NASA
Lunar Science Institute, or studies that
demonstrate how the Moon can be used as a
"Rosetta Stone" for helping understand processes
occurring at other bodies in the solar system.
