Description | Gold is enclosing some reprints which may be of interest. He would certainly be most interested in any optical measurements that indicate something about the outer layers of the lunar grains. Their Auger techniques work well, but are, of course, rather limited in the information which can be got.
The reason he believes it to be important to understand the exterior of the grains is the light this may shed on the derivation of them.
The conventional story that these are derived from pulverising underlying lava has so many inconsistencies in it, that further cluse need to be sought.
Would be glad to hear more of Taylor's plans, and would be glad to give any assistance he can. |
