APOLLO'S LUNAR ROCKS: WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THE MOON
LUNAR ROCKS AND THE STORY OF THE MOON
The Apollo lunar landings yielded an abundance of new scientific data on
the Moon. The various experiments placed on the surface provided information
on seismic, gravitational, and other lunar characteristics. But perhaps
the most dramatic result of the missions was to return a total of more than
800 pounds of lunar rock and soil for analysis on Earth. These samples of
the Moon offered a deeper appreciation of the evolution of our nearest planetary
neighbor.
