A small, 4 billion-year-old moon rock collected by an astronaut during Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the Moon, provides evidence that the Moon once had a molten core that generated a magnetic field.

By Soren Andersen, The News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. Sep. 28--They're old men now. In their 70s, their hair mostly snowy (those who still have hair), their faces lined, they're 10 ancient mariners who have voyaged where only a handful of others have ever ventured.
They were young once, and brave. They were the Apollo astronauts, men who rode fiery rocket ships to the moon and back a lifetime ago. "In the Shadow of the Moon" is their story in their own words, the clear memories of 10 Americans now in their 70s who went beyond their wildest dreams, and ours.
