Real Moon Rocks Go Up For Auction in New York, Expected

to Fetch Nearly $1 Million, Matt Novak, Paleofuture

The article stated:

"Next month Sotheby's in New York will auction off some of the only

moon rocks that can be legally owned by private individuals."

As we all know, this is not correct. Lunar meteorites, which are

also pieces of the Moon are legal to buy and sell freely.

They are still pricey. :-(
