The only natural satellite of Earth, The Moon is 3,474km in diameter, around 1/4 of that of the Earth.

Geology and mineralogy of the Moon have been determined from lunar meteorites found on the Earth and samples returned by unmanned probes (USSR) and manned missions (the US Apollo mission) in the 1960s and the 1970s. Material returned from these missions is still being analysed today.

Formation and Geology of the Moon


The formation of the Moon is believed to have happened around 4.5 billion years ago as a result of a giant impact between the proto-Earth and a Mars-sized planetary body. The debris from this collision accreted to form the Moon.

The Moon is now known to have a distinct crust, mantle, and core believed to have formed due to fractional crystallization of a global magma ocean shortly after the Moon's formation. The majority of the Moon's surface is believed to be anorthosite (an intrusive igneous rock predominated by plagioclase feldspar), this makes up the light areas shown on the Moon's surface. The dark areas are made up of iron-poor basaltic lavas.

Lunar mineral localities


Although many samples of lunar meteorites (pieces of the Moon ejected due to collisions on the Moon which fell onto the Earth) have been found, their original location on the Moon's surface cannot be determined so the only localities that are listed for the Moon are the sites from successful USSR and US missions which returned samples to Earth for analysis. Samples were returned by three Soviet unmanned probes (Luna 16, 20, and 24) and six US manned Apollo missions (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). All of these localities are listed here on Mindat.
