Our World: The Stories Moon Rocks Tell | NASA 360

More than 50 years ago the Apollo missions brought moon rocks, core samples, pebbles, sand, and dust back to Earth. While scientists have been studying these lunar samples for years, researchers at the Astromaterials Acquisition &  Curation Office are using new instruments and modern technology to study and analyze six preserved core samples. Astromaterials 3D, an interactive virtual library, also gives everyone the chance to virtually manipulate and look inside of 3D rocks samples. 

What can we learn from analyzing and studying moon rocks with cutting edge technology? Moon rocks can unravel the stories and mysteries about the Moon, Earth, and our solar system.
