UNR museum to display moon rocks

The state of Nevada’s official moon rocks, brought back to Earth by astronauts in the Apollo moon-landing missions, will be on display at UNR’s W.M. Keck Museum. The public is invited to the unveiling of the exhibit Dec. 13 at 4pm.

The Keck Museum is in the historic Mackay School of Mines Building at the north end of the quad. Its new extraterrestrial rock exhibit will include meteorites found in Nevada and tektites, gravel-sized natural glass formed by the impact of large meteorites on Earth’s surface.
