Lunar meteor fragments

[timetraveller]

:moon:

Looking at the images of the remnants of that Canadian Meteor got me to wondering if there are actually any meteor fragments large or small on the lunar surface or within the craters . And if there are did any of the Apollo missions bring any back for analysis not sure whether any would have survived the impact as there was no atmosphere to slow the descent. what do you guys think

Hi Pete,

I think they found beads of glass-like substance that later analysis has linked to meteorite impact but, as far as I know, no actual fragments of meteorite material.

The Opportunity Rover found a nice iron meteorite on Mars though
