Today, the moon doesn't have a magnetic field at all. But some rocks — notably, many samples returned from NASA's Apollo missions — have strong cues of magnetism, indicating t ...

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 ...

Their study challenges the longtime belief that the moon's magnetic field remained strong for long stretches of time.

Old Apollo rocks are providing a fresh take on the moon's magnetic field. The lunar magnetic field is currently weak or even ...

The lunar rocks collected by Apollo astronauts suggested the moon had a strong magnetic field. A new analysis shows the opposite.

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, ...

Apollo 17’s Gene Cernan spoke some of the last words from the surface of the moon on December 14, 1972: “And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall ...

It is generally considered certain that the Moon did not have a strong magnetic field in its early days. However, samples contradicted this. Now it is clear why.
