Moon rock comes to Carnegie Science Center
A rock from the moon, collected during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, is at the Carnegie Science Center.
Lunar Sample 15499 from NASA has been placed in a secure display case in the exhibit “Mars: The Next Giant Leap.” The moon rock weighs 74.224 grams. Crew members of Apollo 15, the fourth human landing on the moon, collected the sample from the top of a meter-sized boulder at Station 4 on the rim of the Dune Crater.
