Chang'e 6 lunar soil reveals the "speed regulator" effect of the Earth's magnetic field.
Journalists have learned from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that a joint team composed of the institute and other units including the University of Science and Technology of China has conducted rare gas isotope analysis on lunar soil samples from the Chang'e 6 mission. The study found that there are systematic differences in the solar wind received by the front and back of the moon, with Earth's magnetic field playing a role as a "speed regulator" in this process. The related research was published on July 15th in the international academic journal Nature - Earth Science.
