Text:

== Summary == [[Moon|Lunar]] [[Moon rocks|Ferroan]] [[Anorthosite]] #60025 ([[Plagioclase]] [[Feldspar]]). Collected by [[Apollo 16]] from the [[Geology_of_the_Moon#Highlands_and_craters|Lunar Highlands]] near [[Descartes (crater)|Descartes Crater]]. This sample is currently on display at the [[National Museum of Natural History]] in [[Washington, DC]]. Plaque states: At 4.5 billion years old, this anorthosite is approximately the same age as the Moon itself. Made mostly of plagioclase feldspar, it is thought to be a sample of the Moon's early feldspar crust. == Licensing == {{PD-self}} [[zh:Image:Lunar_Ferroan_Anorthosite_60025.jpg]] {{NowCommons|Image:Lunar Ferroan Anorthosite 60025.jpg}}
