Chinese samples uncover moon's dual faces
Samples of soil from the far side of the Moon, collected by the Chang'e-6 probe, revealed that solar wind particles penetrated the soil to greater depths and with higher energy compared to the near side. This is because Earth's magnetic field protects the near side of the Moon from charged particles, while the far side remains completely exposed, allowing solar wind to exert a stronger influence there. This discovery is important for understanding the evolution of Earth's magnetic shield and the history of its protective barrier over the years.
