Moon rocks deepen earth history clues from lunar study
CAPE KENNEDY UP1 Studies of Apollo lunar samples over the past year reinforce that moon rocks unlock early solar system history and help explain Earth's rocks. Scientists say the moon preserves birth-pains of the solar system, with rocks dating up to 4.9 and 4.6 billion years, guiding theories of lunar formation and composition. Apollo 14 aims to sample ancient rocks in the highlands formed from debris after a colossal impact.
