I'm not a big fan of astronomy, but I know some of you guys and gals are...
The violent history of a meteorite from the Moon has been charted for the first time, Science magazine reports.
Analyses of the rock's geology show it endured three giant impacts, before finally being hit so hard that it was catapulted into space.
The rock's composition also allowed scientists to pinpoint its place of origin - the Moon's Imbrium Basin.
Never before have scientists been able to describe a lunar meteorite's travel itinerary in such fine detail.
