Over the Moon at work
The largest known Moon Rock on Earth from the ancient Lunar Highlands, NWA5000 was much larger than any brought back by Apollo. It was ejected from the moon by an asteroid strike ~2000 years ago, and after hurtling through space and around the sun for over 1.3 thousand years, landed in the Western Sahara desert to be discovered in 2007.
Only 0.1% of meteorites are from the moon, making them more rare than pure diamond.
