The mystery of intense magnetism on the Moon is finally solved
(Javier Zayas Photography/Moment/Getty Images) A new study may have solved a long-standing mystery about the Moon's magnetism ...
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.
The Moon's magnetic field was once quite strong, but about 3.2 billion years ago.
New findings suggest that the Moon's early magnetic field was quite different from what many theories predicted.
