Did you know that NASA brought back about 382 kilograms of moon rocks and dust during the Apollo missions? These samples were collected between Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 and brought back to Earth for study. Now, you might wonder, why bring back so much lunar material? Because by studying this dust and rock, scientists were able to determine the Moon's age and discover that it likely formed after a massive collision between Earth and another planetary body billions of years ago. Most of these samples are stored securely in high security laboratories in the United States. Some have been shared with research centers and museums around the world. And here's the surprising part. A portion of these lunar samples is still sealed today. Preserved so they can be studied again in the future with more advanced technology.
