Apollo 11 moon rock, Lunar Receiving Laboratory, 1969.

This is the first lunar sample that was photographed in detail, brought back by the Apollo 11 astronauts. This is a granular, fine-grained, mafic (iron magnesium rich) rock, similar to some igneous rock types found on Earth. The sample number is 10003.
