中科院地质地球所等科研团队探测分析发现：嫦娥五号月壤的太空风化主要受微陨石撞击、太阳风及宇宙射线辐照等因素的共同作用，对不同矿物的表层结构产生不同影响。这一成果为月球中纬度的太空风化作用提供了更多认识，也为月球表面物质演化和空间环境变化过程研究提供了重要支撑。此成果已于日前发表在国际学术期刊《地球物理研究快报》上。
A scientific research team of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences obtained information on space weathering of key components of lunar soil particles through the detection and analysis of single Chang'e-5 lunar soil particles. For billions of years, the lunar surface has been subjected to strong space weathering, like micrometeorite bombardment, solar wind and radiation from galactic cosmic rays. The effects have greatly changed the microscopic appearances, crystal structures and chemical compositions of the lunar surface.
