Chinas Change-6 reveals why solar wind hits the Moons two sides differently

Chinas Change-6 samples have uncovered a surprising difference between the Moons two hemispheres. Solar wind particles penetrated deeper into the far-side soil because Earths magnetosphere slows the particles that reach the near side. Noble gases locked inside the lunar regolith preserved evidence of this uneven bombardment. These gases may even help scientists reconstruct the ancient history of Earths magnetic shield.
