The Moon lacks a dense atmosphere as well as a strong intrinsic magnetic field. As a result, its interactions with the ambient plasma are drastically different from solar-wind interactions with magnetized planets such as Earth. The Moon encounters a wide range of plasma regime from the relatively dense, cold, supersonic solar-wind plasma to the low-density, hot, subsonic plasma in the geomagnetic tail.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-55084-6}, recid = {723484}, pages = {1 online resource (xiii, 111 pages) :}, }
