Summary[edit]

Description

The lunar rock sample which is displayed to the public at the Smithsonian Institute's National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Image was taken on May 22nd 2004 by Jawed Karim.

The description at the exhibition reads: This lunar sample was cut from a rock collected on the surface of the Moon during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. Found near the landing site in the Valley of Taurus-Littrow, it is an iron-rich, fine-textured volcanic rock called basalt. It is nearly 4 billion years old.
