M Lamontagne I changed the meaning of the magnetic shielding section as it excluded magnetic shielding without sufficient analysis. In particular it didn't refer to minimagnetospheres, and their existence on the moon. The mechanism of a minimagnetosphere may be electric rather than simply magnetic, with particles being ionised by the shield and then deflected by the electrical field potential. Cosmic rays might be deflected by very large shields with low densities.
