Earth’s atmosphere is slowly leaking into space, and new research shows some of it reaches the Moon, where it may be ...

A new study suggests lunar soil contains elements that solar wind transported to the moon from Earth’s atmosphere, solving a ...

For decades, scientists have been trying to understand why some rocks on the moon are strongly magnetized even though the moon has no magnetic field today. "The majority of the strong magnetic fields ...

Moon dust may contain fragments of our planet's history. Scientists are exploring this interesting lead, examining how ...

The moon may be silent and still today, but billions of years ago, it likely crackled with magnetic activity. Though the moon now lacks a global magnetic field, its rocks—especially those on the far ...

At a Thursday lecture event, Benjamin Weiss, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, spoke about his recent research on the lunar dynamo, which ...

Recent scientific research has confirmed that charged particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been reaching the Moon for ...

Scientists say Earth’s magnetic field may have funneled atmospheric particles to the moon for billions of years. Lunar soil could preserve a record of Earth’s past while providing resources for future ...

New results from China’s Chang’e 5 mission suggest that the Moon possessed a magnetic field well into its midlife, much longer than previously documented. In work published Jan. 1 in Science Advances, ...
