New findings suggest that the Moon's early magnetic field was quite different from what many theories predicted.

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 ...

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

In the summer of 2024, a robotic mission landed for the first time on the far side of the Moon. The Chinese Chang’e-6 lander planted a flag, dug up more than four pounds of rock and soil, and brought ...

On, NASA reached a pivotal milestone in America’s race to the Moon with the first launch of an Apollo-Saturn IB rocket, known as AS-201, from Cape Kennedy—today’s Cape Canaveral.

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about ...

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, ...

CHICAGO (AP) — James Lovell, the commander of Apollo 13 who helped turn a failed moon mission into a triumph of on-the-fly can-do engineering, has died. He was 97. Lovell died Thursday in Lake Forest, ...

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 ...
