The
rocks
and
sediment
collected
by
Apollo
astronauts
contain
vital
clues
to
the
formation
of
Earth
and
the
Moon.
Most
of
this
information,
including
crucial
parts
of
the
history
of
Earth,
cannot
be
learned
by
studying
rocks
on
Earth
because
it
is
so
geologically
active.
Teachers
may
use
these
materials
to
teach
lunar
geology
and
landforms,
rocks
and
minerals,
and
the
history
and
future
of
lunar
exploration.

Astronomers
estimate
the
age
of
the
universe
in
two
ways:
by
looking
for
the
oldest
stars,
and
by
measuring
the
rate
of
expansion
of
the
universe
and
extrapolating
back
to
the
Big
Bang.
This
site
explains
how
these
measurements
are
made
and
points
out
the
discrepancy
in
ages
derived
from
the
two
methods.
It
features
images,
background
information,
