Over immense geological timescales these fragments became naturally compacted and lithified, preserving a complex record of the Moon's impact history. A later impact event excavated the rock from the lunar surface with sufficient force to overcome the Moon's gravity, ejecting it into space as a meteoroid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1818\"\u003eFollowing its journey through the Solar System, the meteoroid eventually entered Earth's atmosphere before landing in what is now Libya, where it was recovered in 2024.
