There are two main types of moon rocks that make up the dark and light areas on the surface of the moon. The lunar mare (dark rocks, primarily basaltic), and lunar highlands (anorthosite). Where are these two rocks? Where are the impact ejecta blankets? Is the moon undergoing some (typically terrestrial) erosional processes?

Couldn't the wind we saw in the "Strength of the Wolf" video from last year contribute to erosion? After all, "everything changed with the arrival of the Traveler."

Edited by roland: 8/13/2014 6:16:06 PMTrue, everything did change with the arrival of the Traveler. But as scientists, we should be asking "exactly how did it change?" and, "how did those changes affect?". Was there evidence for wind on the moon in one of those trailers? I'll have to rewatch it.

Their capes flap in the moon breeze (you can hear it too), and there's dust flowing around the Guardians too. As for how it changed, there must be an atmosphere on the moon now, right? Still, wind is only going to get us so far.

Neat. And true about the wind. Perhaps the wind has blown around enough dust that it is now obscured the multiple rock types on the Moon.
