Moon rock to display for summer exhibition in Dundee

Moon rock is going on show at the new exhibition at Dundee Science Centre.

Samples of rock and lunar dust collected during Nasa’s manned space missions to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s have taken to the Dundee Science Centre with special permission.

The collection includes some meteorites older than the Earth, with one thought to have been created more than 4,565 million years ago. The public are allowed to touch some of the specimens from the exhibition. The display runs until October and is one of two in the UK outside London.
