About the Aristarchus Plateau

The Aristarchus Plateau fascinated lunar observers long before the space age began due to its unusual shape and low and high reflectance extremes. The plateau features a spectacular channel, or rille, and the very young Aristarchus Crater. Aristarchus is the brightest of the large lunar formations, with an albedo close to double most of the moon's features. The crater is so bright that it is visible to the naked eye and displays unusually bright features when viewed through a telescope. The lava flows of Oceanus Procellarum surround the plateau, with the region hosting a high concentration of sinuous rilles. The largest of them is Vallis Schroeteri, which is also the largest sinuous rille on the moon. The plateau is nearly completely covered by one of the largest lunar regional pyroclastic deposits on the moon, and due to its geological complexity and resource potential, the Aristarchus region is poised to be a potential future landing area for lunar missions. This area is also noted for a significant number of reported transient lunar phenomena, as well as recent emissions of radon gas as measured by the Lunar Prospector spacecraft.

Authentication Information

The moon rocks contained within this pendant were collected from a larger lunar meteorite. The meteorite was sourced from one of the most respected collectors of planetary meteorites in the world. The meteorites we use in our pendants have been analysed and authenticated by a top laboratory and given an official meteorite number, thus ensuring its absolute authenticity. The serial number for this particular lunar meteorite is NWA 11303. This serial number can be used on the International Society for Meteoritics and Planetary Science website where a complete analysis and composition breakdown is publicly available.
