How to understand the lunar internal structure using remote-sensing data

Abstract

In order to estimate bulk composition of the moon, crystallization sequence of lunar magma ocean (LMO) with several bulk compositions estimated by the previous studies was investigated to compare with crystallization sequence deduced from high P/T experiments for mare basalts. Based on the investigation, crystallization sequence of each LMO composition is not always in agreement with that deduced from mare basalt high P/T experiments. This evidence indicates estimation of bulk LMO composition should be carefully considered to consistent with the mare basalt petrogenesis.
