Rock no suprise it’s called anorthositic rock made of oxygen, silicon, iron, magnesium, calcium and aluminum. The SMART-1 spacecraft I worked on decovered traces of calcium.
I could look this up on wikipedia like you should probably do, but I’m not going to because I don’t think that’s the reason for having this competition!
I hope you’ve read my profile, maybe you’d like to ask me a question that is more about what I work on… I’m not a space scientist (although I realise the zone is called space) but would love to answer questions about things I DO know about!?
The moon is basically made of the same stuff as our earth – in fact the moon may have once been a part of our earth! However it is much less dense – and we’re not exactly sure HOW similar the composition is to Earth. Good question!
Rocks! We know this because of the moon rocks that the Apollo astronauts brought back with them when they actually visited the Moon. I have a bit in a drawer in my desk 🙂
The Moon is made from iron and minerals called olivine, clinopyroxene, and orthopyroxene and the crust is mostly anorthosite.
What do you mean “what does it do”? Do you mean what does the Moon do? Or what do these rocks do?
