Fig. 4: Distribution and potential provenances of ejecta near the CE-6 landing site.
From: Geological characteristics of Chang’E-6 landing area in micro-scale unveiled by new observation data
a The identifiable possible ejecta in CE-6 PCAM images, indicated by white arrows; b the distribution of top ten craters with the largest ejecta thickness potentially transported to the CE-6 landing site, marked with a cross indicating the landing site, with the base map being the USGS geological map overlaid with CE2TMap2015 DOM; c, d the close-up images near the landing site, with (c) using CE2TMap2015 DOM as the base map, showing the distribution of ejecta streaks around the landing site, and (d) using the USGS geological map overlaid with CE2TMap2015 DOM as the base map. In this figure, C1 is the small crater near the landing site, as shown in Fig. 3a; C4 is located on the northern rim of the mare region where the landing site is situated; C5 is positioned on the southern rim of the mare region; C6, C7, and C8 are located on the southern rim of the crater Apollo; e a geological stratigraphy of the ejecta at CE-6 landing site from possible craters.
