We have been told the Moon is a dead world—silently orbiting Earth. Airless. Lifeless. Inactive. A barren sphere of rock and dust frozen in geological time.
Yet for decades, spacecraft have detected mysterious magnetic disturbances hovering above the lunar surface. Not weak signals. Not subtle anomalies. In some cases, magnetic fields many times stronger than expected.
How can such disturbances exist above a body without a global magnetic field? Where are these signals coming from? Why are they detected hundreds of kilometers above the surface?
We may have an answer. Researchers point to an exotic plasma phenomenon known as the Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability (KHI).
Author and independent researcher David Drew explains how and why our moon is electric.
