Scientific paper

An analysis of the compositional characteristics for 21 mare deposits in the South Pole/Aitken (SPA) basin is presented, and implications for typical lunar eruptive episodes are investigated. Lunar Orbiter albedo boundaries shown an extremely high correlation to Clementine multispectral boundaries. Preliminary global comparisons of the relative 'blueness' of mare soils suggest that, with the possible exception of some Apollo mare deposits, high-TiO2 mare soils may be localized to the lunar nearside. It is inferred that either different reservoirs were available on the farside with respect to the nearside, or the tapping of high-TiO2 reservoirs is somehow hindered on the farside.
