For decades, a debate has raged about whether the moon ever had a strong magnetic field, or if it was always weak. Now, a new analysis of Apollo-era moon rocks suggests the moon's magnetic field might ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have found that the Moon’s ancient magnetic field was not steady and long-lived but instead flickered on and off in brief, intense bursts tied to titanium-rich ...

For decades, planetary scientists have debated a fundamental question about the moon's early history: Did it once generate a powerful or a weak magnetic field? A new study suggests both options are ...

For years, scientists have wondered about the true nature of the moon’s magnetic field. While some believed it was strong in the past, others argued that it was weak for most of the moon’s history.

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about ...
