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

Once thought dormant, the Moon is now revealed to be a dynamic world. Cooling and contracting, its crust fractures, creating cliffs and generating measurable moonquakes. Recent studies confirm this ongoing tectonic activity,

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,

Planetary scientists have produced the first global map of small mare ridges on the Moon, adding new evidence that the lunar surface has been reshaped in geologically recent times by tectonic forces tied to the body’s long-term contraction.

The lunar rocks collected by Apollo astronauts suggested the moon had a strong magnetic field. A new analysis shows the opposite.
