Our country's research team discovers new mechanism of "near-side compression" on the moon

Reporters learned from the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the center has collaborated with a research team from the University of Macau to reveal, for the first time through three-dimensional numerical simulation, a new physical mechanism of inducing a near-core compression structure within the Moon's core magnetic field. This overturns the traditional understanding that this phenomenon is solely caused by local magnetic anomalies on the Moon, providing a new perspective for the study of the interaction between the Moon and the solar wind. The relevant results have been published recently in the international astronomical journals Astrophysical Journal and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
