It is indeed possible to hold onto a piece of the moon itself. A lunar meteorite is rock that was ejected by an impact on the lunar surface and ended up on Earth after a long journey through space. With this fragment of NWA 10203, you have a real lunar meteorite in your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NWA stands for Northwest Africa: meteorites found in northwestern Africa are given that abbreviation with a sequential number. A nice gift for a stargazer, a child who is crazy about space or someone who already collects meteorites. For those who want to know more about the moon itself: read whether the moon is a planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Store the meteorite in a dry place and don't touch it with your bare hands too often, because moisture and skin oil are not good for the rock. A fun way to do this: on a clear night with binoculars, look at the moon from where this piece once came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also the XS version of NWA 10203<\/a>, and another lunar meteorite: NWA 11182 from 1 to 1.5 grams<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fragment of lunar meteorite NWA 10203: rock from the moon that was found on Earth.
