Lunar meteorite collection

月の隕石コレクション

Lunar meteorite collection

Currently, our lunar meteorite collection consists of 529 pieces, weighing 2,598.472g, and 65 different types.

We have been buying them from experts around the world for over 10 years, but it has become increasingly difficult to buy them recently.

The moon is the celestial body closest to us, but its composition contains many mysteries, and I hope that analyzing lunar meteorites will help solve these mysteries.

Chinese government has been collecting rocks from the far side of the moon.

It is said that Chines government has been collecting rocks from the far side of the moon, and if the analysis of the rocks progresses, surprising components may be detected, which may lead to increased interest in the moon meteorites.

月の隕石コレクション


現在、月の隕石コレクションは、総個数で529個、総重量で2,598.472g、種類で65種類保有しており、過去10年間以上かけて世界中の専門家から買い集めてきましたが、最近では殆ど買うことが出来なくなってきています。


月は我々にとり最も身近な天体ですがその組成には謎が多く含まれており、月の隕石を分析することでその謎が解ければ良いと思っています。


中国は月の裏側から岩石を採取してきたとされていますが、その岩石の分析が進めば、驚くような成分が検出されるかも知れず、月への関心が高まることになるかも知れません。
