Is there anyone in the Stevens County area who reads this blog? Just in case, I’ll mention this event sponsored by the UMM Geology Club to anyone interested in coming on down.
Geology Club will be displaying lunar rocks and soil samples collected during
the Apollo missions to the moon this Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. in Sci.
1650. These rocks are brought to us by Geology Professor Jamey Jones, which
he currently has on loan from NASA. This event is open to the public, so
come and check it out!What: Super cool moon rocks!!
Date: Thursday, March 22
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Place: Sci. 1650 (the Physical Geology lab)For some cool information about the lunar rocks, check out this link:

Just handspecimen-sized rocks or polished thin sections, too? The lunar basalts have small inclusions of native iron in them that shine as bright as silver under a reflected light microscope.
Very neat.
Heh. I first read this headline with “rocks” as a verb instead of a noun, and thought, “Yes. Yes, it does.”
ALIENS!
I see a face in the moon rocks! Third set from the top.
