Sample from NASA's Apollo 17 mission

“Apollo 17 astronaut Ronald Evans and moonwalkers Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan, last humans to set foot on Moon, chipped this sample from a large boulder at base of rth Massif in Taurus-Littrow Valley, 3 km (almost 2 miles) from Lunar Module,” NASA informed in a release. It ded, that rock, less than a pound, was collected by astronaut in 1972 and is a 3.9-billion-year-old sample formed during last large impact event on nearside of moon, Imbrium Impact Basin, which is 1,145 km or 711.5 miles in diameter.

“ irregular sample surfaces contain tiny craters created as micrometeorite impacts have sand-blasted rock over millions of years,” ncy said. NASA’s Lunar Curation Laboratory created moon rock’s flat, sawn sides and used remains for scientific research. “ This ongoing research is imperative as we continue to learn about our planet and Moon, and prepare for future missions to cislunar orbit and beyond,” ncy explained.
