☆ Analysis of Chang’e-6 lunar samples reveals first detailed information about moon’s far side
  + stars: | 2024-11-15 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Lunar samples from the Chang'e-6 mission could help explain differences between the near and far side of the moon. Li and his team studied 108 basalt fragments contained in two small samples of the lunar far side soil. Future Chang’e-6 sample researchThe Chang'e-6 probe's return capsule, which contained lunar samples from the moon's far side, is shown on June 25 after landing in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Xinhua/ShutterstockThese initial analyses of the lunar soil samples raise questions that will take more time and the study of additional samples to address, Neal said. The space agency declined to comment on the studies but said it is coordinating with US researchers who applied for access to Chang’e-5 lunar samples.

☆ Near collapse of Earth’s magnetic field 591 million years ago may have allowed complex life to thrive
  + stars: | 2024-05-07 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —Earth’s magnetic field plays a key role in making our planet habitable. However, Earth’s magnetic field almost collapsed 591 million years ago, and this change, paradoxically, may have played a pivotal role in the blossoming of complex life, new research has found. The discovery of the sustained weakening of Earth’s magnetic field also helped resolve an enduring geological mystery about when Earth’s solid inner core formed. Shuhai Xiao/Virginia TechUncovering the magnetic field’s near collapseThe intensity of Earth’s magnetic field is known to fluctuate over time, and crystals preserved in rock contain tiny magnetic particles that lock in a record of the intensity of Earth’s magnetic field. The research on the intensity of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that the age of Earth’s inner core is on the younger end of that timescale, solidifying after 565 million years ago and allowing Earth’s magnetic shield to bounce back.
