      abstract = {Space weathering processes induce changes to the physical,  chemical, and optical properties of space-exposed soil  grains. For the Moon, space weathering causes reddening,  darkening, and diminished contrast in reflectance spectra  over visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The physical  and chemical changes responsible for these optical effects  occur on scales below the diffraction limit of traditional  far-field spectroscopic techniques. Recently developed  super-resolution spectroscopic techniques provide an  opportunity to understand better the optical effects of  space weathering on the sub-micrometer length scale. In  this paper, we used a synchrotron-based spectroscopic  technique with ∼20 nm spatial resolution to examine  cross-sections from two mature lunar soils at midinfrared  wavelengths (700–2000 cm−1; 5–14.3 µm). Our findings  are broadly consistent with prior bulk observations and  theoretical models of space weathered spectra of lunar  materials. These results provide a direct spatial link  between the physical/chemical changes in space-exposed  grain surfaces and spectral changes of space-weathered  bodies.},
