Recent University of Oxford research reveals that the Moon had a mostly weak magnetic field, with brief periods of strong magnetism linked to high-titanium Mare basalts.

Rocks from the Apollo missions show there was strong magnetism on the Moon, but researchers now believe these rocks mark extremely rare increases in magnetic strength. As models have long suggested, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Apollo moon rocks show the Moon had short bursts of strong magnetism, not a long lasting magnetic field, changing how we ...
