Lunar rock samples from the south pole will help scientists better understand the history of the moon and how that played a role in Earth’s formation, said Miki Nakajima, an assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences and of physics and astronomy. “The Apollo mission was really amazing, and we are still benefiting from it,” she said. “But it was not perfect. By understanding the moon much better, we can understand the Earth.”
