Description
QUE94281, the newest basaltic lunar meteorite, is a complex regolith breccia with abundant glass. This glass occurs in a variety of forms and compositions; fusion crust, splash glass coating, glass veins and glass beads. In both mineralogy and composition the breccia is intermediate between highland and mare rocks, but closer to mare samples. It is very similar to lunar meteorite Y-792374 and may be derived from the same site on the Moon.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    NIRPS is a fiber-fed AO nIR spectrograph working simultaneously with HARPS at the La Silla-ESO 3.6m telescope. The cryogenic spectrograph operating at 75K employs a cross-dispersed echelle grating (R4), covering a wavelength range of 0.98-1.80 microns in a single image using a Teledyne Hawaii-4RG infrared detector. In early 2022, the NIRPS
