50 years ago, during Apollo 15's second EVA on the Moon's surface, astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin found what came to be known as the "Genesis Rock." Per Wikipedia: "The rock was formed in the early stages of the Solar System, at least 4 billion years ago. It was originally thought they had found a piece of the Moon's primordial crust, but later analysis initially showed that the rock was only 4.1 ± 0.1 billion years old, which is younger than the Moon itself, and was formed after the Moon's

During Apollo 15’s second moonwalk (EVA-2) in 1971, astronauts David Scott and James Irwin made one of the most iconic discoveries in lunar history — the Genesis Rock! 🪨 This bright white stone, officially called Sample 15415, was found near Spur Crater on the slopes of Mons Hadley Delta. Scientists believed it might be a piece of the Moon’s original crust — one of the oldest rocks ever found by humankind. 🌑 Just imagine — while exploring in the lunar rover, they spotted this gleaming fragment

#VantageReels: On July 31, 1971, #Apollo 15 astronauts David R Scott and James B Irwin became the first people to drive on the moon. Astronauts used Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), popularly known as “Moon buggy” for their first lunar drive. The LRVs allowed astronauts to cover more ground and travel farther from their landing site than they could on foot and expanded their range of exploration. #FPRewind | Firstpost

On July 31, 1971, Apollo 15 astronauts drove on the moon for the first time. David Scott, the commander of Apollo 15, and James Irwin, the lunar module pilot explored the moon for three days by driving around in the lunar roving vehicle. This moon buggy was folded up and stowed inside the lunar module and deployed after landing. Unpacked, it measured about 10 feet long, 7 feet wide and 45 inches high. It could travel up to 8.6 miles per hour and allowed the astronauts to venture farther from the

The Science Fact on Instagram: "The Apollo 15 mission conducted an experiment on the moon to demonstrate Galileo's theory that all objects fall at the same rate in the absence of air resistance. Astronauts David Scott and Jim Irwin dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time from chest height and observed that they hit the lunar surface simultaneously, proving that they fell at the same rate due to the moon's lack of atmosphere. This experiment validated Galileo's theory and provided evidenc
