Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their
historic landing on the surface of the Moon This momentous trip for humanity also
provided scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil
samples brought back from the Moon, scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw interferences about the development of the Moon from its composition
The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from the large rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil
In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon: basalt and breccia Basalt is cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the Earth Since basalt is formed under extremely high temperatures, the
presence of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was
once extremely hot Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling objects on the surface of the Moon This second type of rock consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by the force
of impact Gases such as hydrogen and helium were found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by solar wind, the streams
of gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun
46 The paragraph preceding the passage most likely discusses
