This forms when the mantle partially melts. The results surprised them. “There is a lot less pyroxene in the rocks, and the ...

In the above example, the cumulate of anorthite + enstatite is rich in calcium and magnesium, and the melt is depleted in calcium and magnesium. The cumulate rock is a plagioclase-pyroxene cumulate (a ...

As the magma ocean cooled, denser minerals such as olivine and pyroxene sank to form a deeper layer called the mantle, while the ferroan anorthosite—being less dense than the surrounding magma ...

As the magma ocean began to cool, minerals with different densities are thought to have crystallized out of the molten material, with denser minerals like olivine and pyroxene sinking to form the ...

Of the five primary minerals found in lunar material — ilmenite, plagioclase, olivine, pyroxene and lunar glass — ilmenite was found to contain the highest amount of solar wind-implanted hydrogen. The ...

Of the five primary minerals found in lunar material — ilmenite, plagioclase, olivine, pyroxene and lunar glass — ilmenite was found to contain the highest amount of solar wind-implanted hydrogen.

The researchers also investigated the differences in hydrogen content in different lunar minerals. Of the five primary minerals found in lunar material — ilmenite, plagioclase, olivine, pyroxene and ...
