The samples brought back from the moon (especially the Genesis rock, a piece of the moon's original crust) support the theory that the moon was created out of material that was once part of the Earth. The science suggests that about 4.5 billion years ago a massive planteoid the size of Mars slammed into the Earth, which was itslef a protoplanet at the time, sending a massive amount of material into orbit. That material eventually accreted and formed the moon.

What were the samples collected from Apollo 11?
Rocks from the moon.
How long has the moon been in space for?
The Giant Impact Hypothesis is probably the most favoured today. This has it that a body about as massive as Mars, (Now called Theia) had accumulated in the Lagrange points, and about 4.5 billion years ago, this made a low velocity collision with the early Earth. It is thought that most of the nickel-iron of the Moon descended into the core of the Earth.Computer models concur with this hypothesis, and further support is obtained from samples collected from the Moon itself.
What did man do on the moon in 1969?
It was a quick visit to the moon, samples of moon rocks were collected, photographs were taken, and brought back to Earth.
What did Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin do on the moon in 1996?
Explored, set up science instrumentation packages, collected moon rocks, core samples, and soil samples, and took lots of pictures. Nothing! They weren't on the moon in 1996.
When the crew members of Apollo 11 landed what did they do?
They took pictures, set up science experiments, and collected rock and soil samples for return to earth.
What did they do on Apollo missions?
They collected core, rock and soil samples, they took pictures, and they set up long term science experiments
Have we collected samples of asteroids and comets?
No.
What contaminates collected urine samples?
peatree dish
What were the samples collected from Apollo 11?
Rocks from the moon.
How and where are samples of body fluid and tissue collected?
The answer is in the arm mianly
What is one of the best pieces of evidence that the moon is not a captured object?
One of the best pieces of evidence supporting the giant impact hypothesis for lunar genesis is the rock samples collected by the Apollo missions. These rocks show the same oxygen isotope ratios as the Earth. In addition, the lunar surface was once a molten ocean; the energy required could have been delivered by a massive impact.
What did Darwin do during his traveling?
he collected thousands of plants and animal samples
Comparing the means of two normal distribution?
You can compare the means of two dependent or independent samples. You can also set up confidence intervals. For independent samples you test the claim that the two means are not equal; the null hypothesis is mean1 equals mean2. The alternative hypothesis is mean1 does not equal mean2. For dependent (paired) samples you test the claim that the mean of the differences are not equal; the null hypothesis is the difference equals zero; the alternative hypothesis is the difference does not equal zero.
The rock samples collected from the bottom of the drill hole came from which earth layer?
Lithosphere
How can data be collected if independent samples are to be obtained?
dont know.. ur question actually incompleted.
Why should freshly collected samples be used for microscopic examination?
Bacteria grow. Fast sometimes.
Where are specimens taken from for a mycoplasma culture?
Samples are collected from the cervix in a female, the urethra or semen in a male, or urine.
