Moon Rock Collection

Moon rock collection refers to the practice of gathering and studying rocks and soil samples from the Moon. The most notable samples were collected during NASA's Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972, where astronauts brought back nearly 842 pounds (382 kilograms) of lunar material. These samples provide scientists with valuable information about the Moon's geology, formation, and history. They also help researchers understand more about the early solar system. Today, some moon rocks are displayed in museums, while others are used for ongoing scientific research. The collection is crucial for expanding our knowledge of celestial bodies.
