摘要: Explorer 35 was injected into a selenocentric orbit on July 22, 1967. Analysis of measurements near periselene (800 km from the lunar surface) while moon is within geomagnetic tail suggests that not magnetized and its moment less than 4 × 1020 cgs units (< 10−5 earth). Rapid diffusion interplanetary magnetic field lines through body limits effective average electrical conductivity to maximum value mho/m. Thus capture by formation magnetosphere as theorized Gold substantiated. A bow shock wave has yet been observed when located in medium or magnetosheath earth.
