but the solar magnetic field carried by the solar wind. But this solar-induced magnetic field — just tens of nanoteslas, at most — is too weak, even when enhanced, to magnetize lunar rocks.

The interstellar medium in our Milky Way galaxy is magnetic, can be compressed, and is turbulent. It affects important ...
