Chang'e-6 Mission Reveals Significant Reinforcement of Lunar Dynamo
The Chang'e-6 mission has provided crucial insights into the lunar dynamo’s evolution, revealing a surprising magnetic field strength of 5 to 21 microteslas (µT) around 2.8 billion years ago. This challenges previous assumptions that the lunar dynamo weakened after 3 billion years ago. The findings suggest that mechanisms such as a basal magma ocean or core crystal...
