While the moon once had a weak magnetic field generated by a small molten core, the team's research suggests it likely wouldn ...

A combination of a dynamo-generated magnetic field and massive impacts could explain the highly magnetized rocks in some ...

Asteroid 2003 MH4, a large space rock, will make a close approach to Earth on May 24, 2025. While not an immediate threat, ...

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

Where did the moon's magnetism go? Scientists have puzzled over this question for decades, ever since orbiting spacecraft ...

A massive impact may have sent a shockwave through the moon, jolting rocks just as a magnetic spike peaked and leaving behind ...

The asteroid will pass at a distance of 6.68 million kilometres from Earth, which is roughly 17 times closer than the distance between Earth and the Moon. Astronomers consider such proximity a close ...
