Lunar Meteorites
Lunar meteorites are rocks that originate from the surface of the Moon and are found on Earth. They are formed from volcanic or impact processes on the Moon and are ejected into space, eventually landing on our planet. These meteorites provide valuable insights into the Moon's geology and history.
When lunar meteorites are discovered, they are often identified by their unique mineral composition and isotopic signatures. Scientists study these samples to learn more about the Moon's formation, its volcanic activity, and the impact events that shaped its surface. Lunar meteorites are rare, making them important for both research and collection.
