That's one mystery about the Moon we can take off of the list.
These moon facts will make you see our mesmerizing satellite in a different way.
The moon isn't just a pretty face.
Only 12 astronaut boots touched down on the lunar surface. But more are about to arrive soon (and they likely won’t be American).
It's part boring, part interesting, and mostly geology.
Spooky!
It's not exactly accurate, but it's a dazzling display.
Truly one of mankind's great successes.
What's the Moon made from, anyway?
The Apollo program returned 380.05 kg of lunar rocks and soil, and most of the samples are stored at the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility. The samples of rocks, breccias, and regolith were polished into thin sections, allowing for optical geologic studies to be performed on them.
