NASA has severe penalties for those who dare to deal in astromaterials.

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 ...

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

A study suggested that while the moon’s magnetic field has been weak during most of its existence, it strengthened and even exceeded Earth’s magnetic activity during extremely brief periods 3 billion ...

Volcanic rock samples collected during NASA’s Apollo missions bear the isotopic signature of key events in the early evolution of the Moon, a new analysis found. Those events include the formation of ...

Oxford scientists have discovered that the Moon’s ancient magnetic field was mostly weak but experienced rare, powerful ...

The study by University of Oxford researchers in England suggests that while the moon’s magnetic field has been weak during ...

China achieved a historic feat by bringing back the first-ever sample from the lunar far side in June. Its moon lander, Chang'e 6, used a robotic scoop and drill to collect approximately 5 pounds (2 ...

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

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.

WASHINGTON — The moon is sometimes called "two-faced" because the surface of its side perpetually facing away from Earth looks so different than its side always facing our planet. And the differences ...
