The current paper investigates the shallow layers of the lunar regolith at the Chang’E‐4 landing site. Four layers between 0 and 10 m were identified using lunar penetrating radar. Based on these outputs, a revised stratigraphic model is suggested for the post‐Imbrian ejecta at the Von Kármán crater...
