These samples were collected during the Apollo 14 mission. These samples were collected during the Apollo 12 mission. These samples were collected during the Apollo 11 mission. These samples are the ones included in the Educational Petrographic Thin Section Sets.Ībout 70 lunar samples are on public display around the world, including: These samples were used for depth profile studies of cosmic ray produced nuclides. There is a total of 54 feet of core samples collected from the top of the lunar regolith. Lunar soil is regolith material produced by meteorite bombardment with the lunar surface. Moon Rocks are known for delivering a potent, long-lasting full-body high for cannabis-savvy individuals and medical patients. Lunar plutonic rocks are coarsely-crystalline rocks of slowly-cooled deep-seated origin. Delta-8 Living Moon Rocks are hemp flowers rolled in Delta-8 oil (concentrate) and topped with CBG-containing Kief (the sticky crystals that cover the hemp flower). Lunar breccias are welded debris from impact craters. Lunar basalts are samples of extrusive lava flows of volcanic magma. Links to specific Apollo and Luna samples in Meyer’s compendium are also provided below in several different categories. The process of scanning lunar sample images continues and the atlas will grow in the future.ĭetailed descriptions of several samples are available courtesy of the Lunar Sample Curator’s office at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The information was compiled by Charles Meyer in The Lunar Sample Compendium.
Version 1 of the atlas is being released in August 2009. Links to additional information about each sample are provided for those that have been previously described in The Lunar Sample Compendium and Lunar Sample Catalogs. The atlas contains information about the type of sample (e.g., rock, soil), the lithology (e.g., basalt, norite), and a description of the sample.
This library of images provides pictures of the Apollo samples taken in the Lunar Sample Laboratory, full-color views of the samples in microscopic thin-sections, cutting views and diagrams that illustrate how the samples were subdivided for scientific analyses, and in situ views of the samples on the lunar surface. Photographs of lunar samples are available in LPI’s Lunar Sample Atlas. Overviews of Apollo samples are available through the links along the right margin. Pictures and descriptions of rocks and soil retrieved by Luna sample return missions.
