New findings suggest that the Moon's early magnetic field was quite different from what many theories predicted.

A discovery of lunar glass beads continues to captivate scientists, shedding new light on the Moon’s volcanic history. These tiny specks, no larger than a millimeter, were formed during volcanic ...

Now, scientists from the University of Oxford offer a resolution to the debate, reporting the moon could have experienced bursts of extremely strong magnetism long ago, but that these episodes would ...

In the summer of 2024, a robotic mission landed for the first time on the far side of the Moon. The Chinese Chang’e-6 lander planted a flag, dug up more than four pounds of rock and soil, and brought ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon’s magnetic field — and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they ...

A 4-billion-year-old volcano? New research finds that Io, the solar system’s most volcanically active moon, can brag just that. A recent study of Io’s sulfurous atmosphere suggests that Jupiter’s moon ...

The Moon has a long, chaotic geological history almost as old as Earth itself. Every crater, rock and speck of dust on the Moon tells a story, but because it's not exactly close to our planet, this ...

The Apollo missions’ strange landing zone has led to decades of incorrect assumptions about the Moon’s magnetic field strength.

Berkeley — Using a state-of-the-art computer model of the lunar interior, geophysicists at the University of California, Berkeley, have shown that a mighty burp early in the moon’s history could ...
