Abstract
► Many Copernican lunar craters have well preserved impact melt flows. ► Meter-scale digital terrain models allow quantitative analysis of impact melt flow deposits. ► Observations of impact melt deposits show that they were highly fluid and emplaced at high temperatures (superheated). ► Melt volume per impact event can vary significantly above model predictions.
