There exist cislunar and trans-lunar libration points near the Moon, which are referred as the LL1 and LL2 points respectively and can generate the different types of low-energy trajectories transferring from Earth to Moon. The time-dependent analytic model including the gravitational forces from the Sun, Earth and Moon is employed to investigate the energy-minimal and practical transfer trajectories. However, different from the circular restricted three-body problem, the equivalent gravitational equilibria are defined according to the geometry of instantaneous Hills boundary due to the gravitational perturbation from the Sun. The relationship between the altitudes of periapsis and eccentricities is achieved from the Poincare mapping for all the lunar captured trajectories, which presents the statistical feature of the fuel cost and captured orbital elements rather than generating a specified Moon-captured segment. The minimum energy required by the captured trajectory on a lunar circular orbit is deduced in the spatial bi-circular model. It is presented that the asymptotical behaviors of invariant manifolds approaching to/from the libration points or halo orbits are destroyed by the solar perturbation. In fact, the energy-minimal cislunar transfer trajectory is acquired by transiting LL1 point, while the energy-minimal trans-lunar transfer trajectory is obtained by transiting LL2 point. Finally, the transfer opportunities for the practical trajectories escaped from the Earth and captured by the Moon are yielded by transiting halo orbits near LL1 and LL2 points, which can be used to generate the whole trajectories.

We examine how water is produced globally over the lunar surface as it orbits in/out of the magnetotail. Due to the interaction of the solar wind (SW) with Earths magnetic field, upstream the magnetic field is compressed down to ~10 Earth radii. Howe
ver, the diverted stream of SW around Earths magnetic field results in an extended depleted region of SW protons (positively charged hydrogen) out to 1000s of Earth radii, referred to as the magnetotail. The Moon orbits at a distance of ~40 Earth radii; therefore, upstream it is within the SW, but downstream it is partially shielded while in the magnetotail during full Moon. SW protons penetrate lunar soil particles and some H atoms can chemical react with oxygen to form water-like molecules such as OH/H2O. Most of the H atoms bounce around within grains until finding another hydrogen atom, chemically combine, and then escape the grain as H2 into the thin atmosphere. We developed a model to calculate the global distribution of OH produced in the lunar surface and H2 released to the atmosphere as the Moon orbits in/out of Earths magnetotail. The model results are in good agreement with available observations.
The content of $mathrm{OH/H_2O}$ molecules in the tenuous exosphere of the Moon is still an open issue at present. We here report an unprecedented upper limit of the content of the OH radicals, which is obtained from the in-situ measurements carried
out rm by the Lunar-based Ultraviolet Telescope, a payload of Chinese Change-3 mission. By analyzing the diffuse background in the images taken by the telescope, the column density and surface concentration of the OH radicals are inferred to be $<10^{11} mathrm{cm^{-2}}$ and $<10^{4} mathrm{cm^{-3}}$ (by assuming a hydrostatic equilibrium with a scale height of 100km), respectively, by assuming that the recorded background is fully contributed by their resonance fluorescence emission. The resulted concentration is lower than the previously reported value by about two orders of magnitude, and is close to the prediction of the sputtering model. In addition, the same measurements and method allow us to derive a surface concentration of $<10^{2} mathrm{cm^{-3}}$ for the neutral magnesium, which is lower than the previously reported upper limit by about two orders of magnitude. These results are the best known of the OH (MgI) content in the lunar exosphere to date.
Looking at the orbits of small bodies with large semimajor axes, we are compelled to see patterns. Some of these patterns are noted as strong indicators of new or hidden processes in the outer Solar System, others are substantially generated by obser
vational biases, and still others may be completely overlooked. We can gain insight into the current and past structure of the outer Solar System through a careful examination of these orbit patterns. In this chapter, we discuss the implications of the observed orbital distribution of distant trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). We start with some cautions on how observational biases must affect the known set of TNO orbits. Some of these biases are intrinsic to the process of discovering TNOs, while others can be reduced or eliminated through careful observational survey design. We discuss some orbital element correlations that have received considerable attention in the recent literature. We examine the known TNOs in the context of the gravitational processes that the known Solar System induces in orbital distributions. We discuss proposed new elements of the outer Solar System, posited ancient processes, and the types of TNO orbital element distributions that they predict to exist. We conclude with speculation.
We present a study on the relationship between the ratio of the depth of a crater to its diameter and the diameter for lunar craters both on the maria and on the highlands. We consider craters younger than 1.1 billion years in age, i.e. of Copernican
period. The aim of this work is to improve our understanding of such relationships based on our new estimates of the craterss depth and diameter. Previous studies considered similar relationships for much older craters (up to 3.2 billion years). We calculated the depths of craters with diameters from 10 to 100 km based on the altitude profiles derived from data obtained by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The ratio h/D of the depth h of a crater to its diameter D can diverge by up to a factor of two for craters with almost the same diameters. The linear and power approximations (regressions) of the dependence of h/D on D were made for simple and complex Copernican craters selected from the data from Mazrouei et al. (2019) and Losiak et al. (2015). For the separation of highland craters into two groups based only on their dependences of h/D on D, at D<18 km these are mostly simple craters, although some complex craters can have diameters D>16 km. Depths of mare craters with D<14 km are greater than 0.15D. Following Pikes (1981) classification, we group mare craters of D<15 km as simple craters. Mare craters with 15<D<18 km fit both approximation curves for simple and complex craters. Depths of mare craters with D>18 km are in a better agreement with the approximation curve of h/D vs. D for complex craters than for simple craters. At the same diameter, mare craters are deeper than highland craters at a diameter smaller than 30-40 km. For greater diameters, highland craters are deeper.
The lunar farside highlands problem refers to the curious and unexplained fact that the farside lunar crust is thicker, on average, than the nearside crust. Here we recognize the crucial influence of Earthshine, and propose that it naturally explains
this hemispheric dichotomy. Since the accreting Moon rapidly achieved synchronous rotation, a surface and atmospheric thermal gradient was imposed by the proximity of the hot, post-Giant-Impact Earth. This gradient guided condensation of atmospheric and accreting material, preferentially depositing crust-forming refractories on the cooler farside, resulting in a primordial bulk chemical inhomogeneity that seeded the crustal asymmetry. Our model provides a causal solution to the lunar highlands problem: the thermal gradient created by Earthshine produced the chemical gradient responsible for the crust thickness dichotomy that defines the lunar highlands.
