Unveiling the Enigma: Exploring the Whereabouts of Moon Rocks with a NASA Expert

Where are the Moon rocks from the Apollo missions stored? When not undergoing examination by institutions or captivating museum audiences, NASA maintains a specialized Lunar Sample Curation Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center. This facility is dedicated to safeguarding these extraordinary samples. Delving into these specimens contributes to a deeper understanding not only of our moon but also of our planet's origins. Dr. Juliane Gross, who served as the Deputy Apollo Sample Curator from September 2019 to December 2022, provides further insights into the curation of lunar samples.
