Apparently standard cosmologists can think of explanations for other "Surprising" Magnetisms, too. Now, since Mars is obviously too cold for a molten core with a function of a magnetic dynamo, an asteroid`s gravitational pull could have caused some movement in the core, so that the planet has magnetic field long after it has become dead cold. A Nice one indeed!

Asteroids serving as ON/OFF switches! Why didn`t I think of that first, I could have been famous now!

Re: Young Galaxies "Surprisingly" Magnetic
See my recent Thunderblog entry... Thought the Jack and the Beanstalk reference was too good not to commit it to paper (or, electrons ).
