Where are the Moon Rocks?

"Where Are the Moon Rocks? We Asked a NASA Expert" delves into the intriguing topic of the current whereabouts of the lunar rocks and soil samples collected during the Apollo missions. The author interviews a knowledgeable NASA expert to shed light on the storage, distribution, and significance of these precious lunar materials. The article offers insights into the scientific value of moon rocks, their role in advancing our understanding of the Moon's history, and how they continue to contribute to ongoing research and exploration endeavors.
Where are the Moon rocks from the Apollo missions kept? When they’re not being studied by institutions or enjoyed by museumgoers, NASA has a specialized Lunar Sample Curation Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center to store and keep these otherworldly samples safe. Studying these samples helps us learn more about the origin of not only our moon, but our planet. Deputy Apollo Sample Curator (Sept 2019 – Dec 2022) Dr. Juliane Gross explains more about lunar sample curation.
