Key PointsHigh spatial and magnetic moment sensitivity microscopy techniques have revolutionized meteorite paleomagnetism in the last decade Fu et al. (2021) used quantum diamond microscopy to reinterpret the magnetization of Allende with implications for the protoplanetary disk Further work is required to interpret extraterrestrial paleomagnetic remanences, and how to recover reliable paleointensity estimates
