In the Northern Hemisphere, June 20 is the day on which the sun is highest in the sky, aka the summer solstice! This is the ...

The Tianwen 2 asteroid-comet probe lifted off on Tuesday (May 28), riding into the final frontier atop a Long March 3B rocket ...

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

There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis ...

A team of scientists may finally have the answer. The study suggests that the moon’s magnetic rocks could be the result of a ...

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

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 ...

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

The robotic Tianwen-2 spacecraft will collect samples from Kamoʻoalewa, which some scientists suspect is a fragment of the moon.

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 ...

( NewsNation) — Venus could be hiding asteroids that would be deadly if they hit Earth, some experts say. A new study ...

After leaving Earth, Tianwen-2 will reach Kamo‘oalewa by July 2026. This tiny, elongated asteroid likely spans no more than ...
