Scientific paper

Electron reflection measurements from Apollo 15 and 16 subsatellites show that patches of strong surface magnetic fields ranging in size from less than about 7 km to greater than 500 km are distributed over the surface of the Moon. With the exception of a few regions, no obvious association to surface geology has been found. Researchers examined the antipodes of 23 winged impact basins for which electron reflection measurements are available. It was concluded that the apparent temporal variations for the basin antipodes may reflect real variations in the lunar magnetic field.
