The reporter learned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that Chinese scientists obtained the first ancient magnetic field information on the far side of the moon by analyzing the Chang'e-6 lunar samples, filling the data gap of the mid-to-late evolution of the lunar magnetic field, and providing important basis for studying the evolution of the lunar magnetic field and exploring the "lunar magnetic field generator". The relevant results paper was published online in the international academic journal Nature at dawn on December 20, Beijing time.
