Scientific & Geological Information
A Lunar Meteorite is a rock that originated on the surface of the Moon and was later ejected into space by the force of an asteroid or meteoroid impact. Some of this material eventually traveled through space, entered Earth’s atmosphere, and survived the journey to land as meteorites. These specimens represent actual pieces of our Moon, making them among the most prized meteorites in existence.
Lunar meteorites are classified based on their mineralogy, texture, and isotopic composition. They are typically composed of basalt, gabbro, anorthosite, or breccias, reflecting the geological diversity of the lunar surface. Many contain minerals such as plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine, which are also found in terrestrial rocks, but their isotopic signatures prove their lunar origin.
Impacts on the Moon are often referred to as Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLPs) due to the bright flashes or plumes observed when impacts occur. These impacts eject surface rocks into space, creating fragments that occasionally fall to Earth as lunar meteorites.
