A newly studied rock from the Moon’s far side could help resolve one of lunar science’s longest-running mysteries: how the Moon once generated a magnetic field comparable in some respects to Earth’s. Researchers say the sample, returned by China’s Chang’e-6 mission, preserves evidence of an ancient magnetic signal that may point to a hidden volcanic structure and a more dynamic lunar interior than previously assumed.
