And Finally... Apollo 11 moon rock is fake
Moon rock presented to Holland by the Apollo 11 astronauts 30 years ago is petrified wood from Earth, shocked scientists found.
The souvenir, given by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins during a goodwill tour after the 1969 landing, went to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
The US space agency Nasa gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries.
US officials had no explanation for the discovery it was fake, the museum said.
