USGS and NASA have recently teamed up to create one of the most complete databases of magnetic properties of Earth’s rocks ever assembled. Satellite data of Earth's magnetic field combined with ...

Where did the moon's magnetism go? Scientists have puzzled over this question for decades, ever since orbiting spacecraft picked up signs of a high magnetic field in lunar surface rocks. The moon ...

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 ...

Some lunar rocks have left scientists puzzled for decades. Despite the Moon having no global magnetic field today, samples collected during NASA’s Apollo missions and data from orbiting spacecraft ...

NASA’s Apollo missions brought back moon rock samples for scientists to study. We’ve learned a great deal over the ensuing decades, but one enduring mystery remains. Many of those lunar samples show ...

Discovered in 1852, the main-belt asteroid Psyche is unique in that it is believed to be the exposed core of an ancient protoplanet that never completely formed, or whose rocky outer layers were ...

NASA and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) are teaming up to create one of the most complete databases of magnetic properties of Earth's rocks ever assembled. The partnership demonstrates ...
