As part of the Chang'e 7 mission, China will be searching for frozen water, which is crucial for future lunar exploration.

No astronaut or rover has yet visited a lunar swirl to investigate. "Impacts could cause these types of magnetic anomalies," said Michael J. Krawczynski, an associate professor of Earth ...

It will take around 45 days to arrive. The landing site was chosen to avoid magnetic anomalies on the lunar surface that could interfere with observations, says Ryan Watkins, a programme scientist ...

The Moon and asteroids are at the top of the mission list for a number of agencies, while others will focus on exploration to increase our understanding of the universe.

BEIJING -- A new analysis of samples collected by China's Chang'e 5 mission has revealed that the moon possessed a weak yet still running dynamo magnetic field approximately 2 billion years ago.

Firefly Aerospace's soon-to-launch Blue Ghost moon lander will help NASA better understand our home planet, and how it responds to space weather.

Chinese scientists recently obtained the first information about the ancient magnetic field on the far side of the Moon, through the analysis of lunar soil samples brought back by the Chang'e 6 ...

A new study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been able to determine that not only did the Moon have its own magnetic field, but it was twice as strong as the Earth's.

Firefly Aerospace's soon-to-launch Blue Ghost moon lander will help NASA better ... generated when the solar wind smashes into Earth's magnetic field at the magnetopause, or the outer boundary ...
