This ordinary looking rock is one of the most precious rocks on Earth: a piece of the Moon. It was blasted into space when an asteroid hit the Moon. It later fell to Earth in Antarctica, where it was discovered in 1994. It weighs less than an ounce. For reference, the cube is one centimeter (0.4 inch) wide. [NASA]
