Beschreibung:
A search was made for the possible existence of magnetic monopoles on the moon using magnetic observations from magnetometer experiments on Explorer 33 and 35. A series of 37 orbital plots were analyzed and it was determined that the net number of magnetic monopoles was less than 1 per 10 to the 7th power cc. This is equivalent to the difference in the number of northern and southern magnetic monopoles within the moon being less than 1 per 10 to the 31st power nucleons. Searches for monopoles from lunar samples have also proven negative.
