1.5 grams of lunar rock obtained by the #Chang'e 5 sample return mission were given to the French scientific community during a visit of the French president in China. These samples were collected on the lunar surface in the region of Oceanus Procellarum, where some of the youngest lava flows erupted about 2 billion years ago. The samples will be curated by the national museum of natural history in #Paris.
