Scientific paper

The microstructure and chemical composition of metallic spherules from the lunar soil were studied by optical, electron-probe, and scanning-electron-microscope techniques. Metallic spherules produced experimentally were compared to the lunar spherules with respect to structure, chemistry, and cooling rates. The structure of the lunar spherules indicates an origin by solidification of molten globules of metal. The spherules are probably produced from both lunar and meteoric sources, the major source being the metal phase present in lunar rocks and soil.
