The Apollo missions changed how scientists understand the moon. Returning with Artemis could help solve some of the biggest lunar mysteries.

Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon’s magnetic field — and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they discovered that the Moon did occasionally generate an incredibly powerful magnetic field,

Rocks from the Apollo missions show there was strong magnetism on the Moon, but researchers now believe these rocks mark extremely rare increases in magnetic strength. As models have long suggested, the Moon generally had a weak magnetic field between 3.5 and 4 billion years ago. The strong magnetic field events were geologically brief.

It is generally considered certain that the Moon did not have a strong magnetic field in its early days. However, samples contradicted this. Now it is clear why.

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, have resolved a long-standing debate about the strength of the moon's magnetic field. For decades, scientists have argued about whether the moon had a strong or weak magnetic field during its early history (3.

Imagine a rocket struck by lightning twice within a minute after launch, but the manned mission continued — to the moon, no less. On Nov. 14, 1969, 56 years ago today, the Apollo 12 mission launched from Kennedy Space Center on its second manned mission ...

Once America's most experienced astronaut, Apollo 13's Jim Lovell, who died at 97, was the first to visit the moon twice.

These photos are out of this world. Thousands of images from the Apollo missions have been curated and re-released in a new gallery on Flickr. The images hail directly from NASA but have been reorganized by Kipp Teague, who started the Apollo Archive ...

CHICAGO — James Lovell, the commander of Apollo 13 who helped turn a failed moon mission into a triumph of on-the-fly can-do engineering, has died. He was 97. Lovell died Thursday in Lake Forest, Illinois, NASA said in a statement on Friday. “Jim’s ...

On, NASA reached a pivotal milestone in America’s race to the Moon with the first launch of an Apollo-Saturn IB rocket, known as AS-201, from Cape Kennedy—today’s Cape Canaveral.
