Ancient Lunar Dynamo May Explain Magnetized Moon RocksSanta Cruz CA (SPX) Nov 10, 2011 The presence of magnetized rocks on the surface of the Moon, which has no global magnetic field, has been a mystery since the days of the Apollo program. Now a team of scientists has proposed a novel mechanism that could have generated a magnetic field on the Moon early in its history. The "geodynamo" that generates Earth's magnetic field is powered by heat from the inner core, which drives complex fluid motions in the molten iron of the outer core. But the Moon is too small to support that type o ... read more |
