Chang'e-6 lunar soil reveals surprising magnetic record
Original: Chang’e-6 lunar soil contains a surprising magnetic time capsule
Soil collected by China's Chang'e-6 mission from the far side of the Moon is offering scientists an unexpected magnetic time capsule. Researchers studying the samples say they contain magnetic information that could shed new light on the Moon's ancient magnetic field and its geological history, a rare opportunity since no mission had previously returned material from the lunar far side.
Why now: New findings from the first-ever far-side lunar samples are drawing attention in the science community.
