Scientists found a magnetic mineral never before seen naturally in Moon samples; Chang’e-6 brought the material back from the lunar surface, where it survived inside tiny impact-glass particles

About 4.25 billion years ago, the Moon possessed a powerful core dynamo with a field strength comparable to or even exceeding modern Earth’s. This magnetic field, generated by circulating molten metal, completely shut down as the interior cooled and core crystallisation ceased, leaving the Moon without a global magnetic field in the present. While it … Read more

Earth will reach its furthest point from the sun on July 6, but the summer heat won't cool down yet: Here's why |

The Earth will reach its furthest point from the Sun on July 6, an annual astronomical event called aphelion. The planet is about 152.1 million kilometers from the sun, about 5 million kilometers farther than it was in early January. However, despite the distance, it will still be summer in the Northern Hemisphere and temperatures … Read more

7 lakes formed by meteor strikes around the world: From Lake Maniquagan to Clearwater |

On Earth, lakes are often associated with glaciers, rivers, volcanic activity, or changing tectonic landscapes. A much smaller group owes its existence to something less common. At various times in Earth’s history, large objects from space struck the surface with enough force to create huge depressions, some of which later filled with water. The evidence … Read more
