NASA is finally opening a vacuum-sealed sample it took from the moon 50 years ago
A pair of 14-inch-long tubes were hammered into the moon's surface by astronauts on one of NASA's Apollo missions fifty years ago. The astronauts, vacuum-sealed one of the tubes after filling it with rocks and soil, while the other was put in a normal. Both were obtained and brought back to Earth.
Scientists at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston are now preparing to carefully open that first tube, which has remained tightly sealed since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission the last time humans set foot on the moon.
The mission's unsealed tube was opened in 2019. The layers of lunar soil had been preserved, and the sample provided information on topics such as landslides in airless environments. Because the sample being opened now is sealed, it could contain something other than rocks and soil: GAS.
