Got some “gifts” for you! How about this small stone from the moon?
Here’s another view:
The rock shown above is a fragment of the “Great Scott” and is one of the displays in the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake, Utah – the same museum where our pics on the Martian landscape were taken.
Some Trivia on the Great Scott
The Great Scott, or Lunar sample # 15555, is considered as the second largest sample returned from the moon. It was collected by Commander David R. Scott during the Apollo 15 mission.
wee…di nga sis? totoo?
galing no?..parang meron din ata tayo nyan dito..hehehe..
Kaya pala great scott kasi si David scott ang nagdala..tama ba?
there were no explanations given as to why it was given the name Great Scott but as I was typing this post earlier, it also occured to me that the rock was named after the astronomer who collected it. 🙂
