Comet 67P Measurements Reveal its Weak Magnetic Field

According to the lander from the European Space Agency Philae, the planets were not created through magnets as per the report from New Scientist news.

The Philae lander which touched down on the 67P comet last November got a bumpy landing hence the reason for shutting down the probe.  The scientists are still analyzing what the lander gathered when it landed on the comet and when it was still active.

The scientists even revealed that magnetism is not the reason why the rocks from outer space lump or join together.  It has weak magnet power or even lacks magnetism as measurements show that the core of the comet is not even magnetized.

A theory from some of the best astrophysicists have analyzed that magnets were not responsible in aligning, attracting and finally binding the small space rocks into larger ones during the planet formation's initial stages.  It was thought and believed that building blocks that built the planets were due to the magnetic forces.  This was a surprise as there is no magnetic force present and the comet showed no sign of any magnetism.

According to the one in-charge for Rosetta's magnetometer Karl-Heinz Glassmeier, there is also no detectable magnetic field surrounding the planets as Philae would pick up some signal to a magnetic force. 

The scientists also learned that 67P has a suggested very weak magnetism that cannot bring together or bind blocks more than a meter so it does not support the theory that magnetism played a role in planet formation.

Currently, the Rosetta is still looking for the Philae and continues to make more investigations to prove scientific researches but an occurrence interfered with the navigational instrument so it got lost in space.
