The far side of the Moon provides clues to a previous magnetic field
The question to whether the Moon ever possessed an internal magnetic field is a matter of debate. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have opted for a new method to show that a mechanism once existed on the Moon that is still active on Earth today.
Summary
Researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered evidence suggesting that the Moon once had an internal magnetic field, using a novel method that parallels mechanisms still occurring on Earth. This finding could reshape our understanding of the Moon’s geological history and its similarities to our planet.
