Scientific paper

It is proposed that the early Moon had molten material close to its surface, particularly in the equatorial region, due to a combination of fast accretion and tidal flexing after Earth capture. An eccentric orbit of the Earth-Moon system about an early Sun with a high magnetic dipole moment (8 × 1025 T m3) would give magnetic fields over 10-4 T on the lunar surface. These are produced by circular currents in an equatorial conducting ring, induced by variations in the solar field.
