Moon rocks spur search for similar materials
NASA says 120 pounds of Apollo rocks show no life on the moon but reveal differences like high titanium and rare earth patterns. Scientists seek earth analogs with lunar soil properties, with reports from Idaho Sweden Brazil and mid Atlantic Ridge. More than 150 science groups analyze lunar dust and rocks while noting lunar meteorite impacts stir the topsoil and that lunar samples aid sun studies. The work follows the July anniversary of Apollo 11.
