Earth Has Been Sending Particles From Atmosphere To Moon For Billions Of Years, Study Finds
The process, which existed for billions of years, would eventually turn lunar soil into a long-running archive of Earth's atmosphere.

Study Reveals Earth's Atmosphere Has Been Reaching The Moon For Billions Of Years
In 2005, researchers at the University of Tokyo proposed that some elements from Earth's upper atmosphere might have escaped and reached the Moon.

Study Reveals Moon Has A Solid Iron-Like Core, Solves Long-Standing Space Mystery
The Moon's magnetic field was once quite strong, but about 3.2 billion years ago.

Hubble Finds Cosmic Dust Coating Uranus’ Moons, Not Radiation Scars
New Hubble Space Telescope observations have upended decades of expectations about Uranus’ moons. Scientists once thought the planet’s magnetic field darkened their backsides with radiation, but the latest data shows Titania and Oberon are collecting space dust on their leading sides instead. This “cosmic bug splatter” effect suggests dust ...

Jupiter Was Once Twice as Big With 50x Stronger Magnetism, Says New Study
A 2025 study reveals Jupiter was once twice its current size with 50x stronger magnetism. Using moon orbits for data, researchers show how early Jupiter shaped the solar system’s structure.

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 o...

NASA’s Europa Clipper Probe Begins Deploying Science Instruments on Way to Jupiter
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has begun deploying its key science instruments as it travels towards Jupiter. Launched in October 2023, the probe is on a 1.8-billion-mile journey to study Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. The recent deployment includes the magnetometer’s boom and radar antennas, crucial for studying Europa's magnetic field and subsu...

NASA is Sending Europa Clipper to Search for Aliens Near Jupiter's Moon
NASA is set to launch the Europa Clipper mission to explore Jupiter’s moon Europa in search of signs of life. The spacecraft will conduct a detailed investigation of the icy moon, where scientists suspect a liquid ocean exists beneath its frozen surface. Europa Clipper will analyse the moon’s surface, water plumes, and magnetic field to underst...
