Bringing our city to your living room
It is not unusual for something to go up for auction and be described as “out of this world”, but in this case, the label is very true.
A piece of the moon, which was discovered in North Africa two years ago, is expected to fetch around £ 2 million in a sale through London auction house Christie’s.
The lunar meteorite, officially known as NWA 12691, weighs more than 13.5 kg and is believed to be “the fifth largest piece of the Moon on Earth,” according to James Hyslop, head of science and natural history at Christie’s.
“It will probably be the greatest example that has ever come on the market,” Hyslop told Christie’s website. “Every time I see it in the warehouse, its large size leaves me speechless. The experience of having a piece of another world in your hands is something you will never forget. “
The chunk of lunar rock is believed to have fallen to Earth during a meteor shower hundreds, if not thousands, ago, Hyslop added.

It is larger than any sample brought in by the Apollo astronauts during the 1960s and 1970s, and it is extremely rare: Little more than a ton of moon rock is known to exist on our planet.
The rock will not go unnoticed at Christie’s, and will instead be offered for private sale, meaning any potential buyer with the necessary funds can buy it right away.
