Moon rock

Moon rocks are fragments of the Moon's surface that have been collected during lunar missions. They are composed of minerals such as basalt and anorthosite, formed from volcanic activity billions of years ago. These rocks provide valuable insights into the Moon’s geology, history, and the solar system’s early conditions. Because they are extraterrestrial and have unique compositions, moon rocks are considered rare and scientifically significant. They are stored and studied in laboratories around the world, helping scientists understand planetary formation and the history of our natural satellite.
