What did scientists learn from lunar samples brought back by Apollo astronaunts?

Scientists learned valuable information about the Moon's composition, geology, and history from the lunar samples brought back by Apollo astronauts. The samples provided insights into the Moon's formation, its volcanic history, and the impact of meteorite bombardment. Additionally, they helped scientists understand the similarities and differences between the Moon and Earth.


The oldest moon rock brought back by the Apollo astronauts is about 4.6 billion years old?

Yes, that's correct. The oldest moon rock retrieved during the Apollo missions is believed to be around 4.6 billion years old, which is approximately the age of the moon itself.
