Because of gravitational interactions with their companions, the rotational dynamics of
planets and stars involve periodic perturbations of their shape, the direction of their …

BACKGROUND It is unknown whether the Moon has a fully differentiated and melted
structure with a metallic core or retains a partially primordial, unmelted interior. The …

Abstract The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission has sampled lunar
gravity with unprecedented accuracy and resolution. The lunar GM, the product of the …

The Moon possesses a clear dichotomy in geological processes between the nearside and
farside hemispheres. The most pronounced expressions of this dichotomy are the strong …

The Mg-suite represents an enigmatic episode of lunar highlands magmatism that
presumably represents the first stage of crustal building following primordial differentiation …

The evolution of the lunar magnetic field can reveal the Moon's interior structure, thermal
history, and surface environment. The mid-to-late-stage evolution of the lunar magnetic field …

The state of knowledge and understanding of planetary magnetic fields is reviewed. All of
the planets, with the possible exception of Venus, have had active dynamos at some time in …

Lunar rocks contain a record of an ancient magnetic field that seems to have persisted for
more than 400 million years, and which has been attributed to a lunar dynamo,. Models of …

The origin of lunar magnetic anomalies,,,, remains unresolved after their discovery more
than four decades ago. A commonly invoked hypothesis is that the Moon might once have …

Determining the presence or absence of a past long-lived lunar magnetic field is crucial for
understanding how the Moon's interior and surface evolved. Here, we show that Apollo …
