In the Northern Hemisphere, June 20 is the day on which the sun is highest in the sky, aka the summer solstice! This is the ...

There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis ...

A new simulation suggests a massive asteroid impact may have briefly supercharged the moon's magnetic field, leaving behind ...

A team of scientists may finally have the answer. The study suggests that the moon’s magnetic rocks could be the result of a ...

A combination of a dynamo-generated magnetic field and massive impacts could explain the highly magnetized rocks in some lunar regions.

A massive impact may have sent a shockwave through the moon, jolting rocks just as a magnetic spike peaked and leaving behind ...

The Tianwen 2 asteroid-comet probe lifted off on Tuesday (May 28), riding into the final frontier atop a Long March 3B rocket ...

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

The asteroid will pass at a distance of 6.68 million kilometres from Earth, which is roughly 17 times closer than the ...

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

Where did the moon's magnetism go? Scientists have puzzled over this question for decades, ever since orbiting spacecraft ...

The CZ-3B/E Y110 flew on an eastbound path and launched Tianwen-2 on an Earth escape trajectory. Tianwen-2 will orbit ...
