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.

A groundbreaking new supercomputer model shows how magnetic fields shape the turbulent flow of charged particles in space.
