78% Informative
"Lunar swirls" observed on the moon exhibit a spiral pattern created by magnetized rocks that deflect or redirect solar wind particles that constantly bombard the moon.
Lunar swirls can extend for hundreds of miles , according to images from NASA 's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) "Impacts could cause these types of magnetic anomalies. But there are some swirls where we're just not sure how an impact could create that shape".
