THE $13 MILLION DOLLAR MOON ROCK!!!

Salt Lake City's Clark Planetarium has on permanent loan from NASA a Moon Rock worth $13 million dollars!!!! This is Salt Lake Counties most valuable displayed artifact! Take that Atlanta's $11 million dollar moon rock!!!

FUN FACTS:

1. The $13 million dollar moon rock was obtained from the Apollo 15 mission.
2. There is a video playing near the sample which has actual footage of the Apollo 15 Astronauts collecting the displayed sample rock.
3. There is a hidden security camera directly above the rock and one more above the astronaut outfit near by.
4. There is a full time REAL police officer patrolling the Planetarium guarding the rock.
5. The snack bar downstairs has "Pomegranate" Tootsie pops!! Ask for the red wrappers with the red lettering. This is the only place I have ever seen them!!!! And they are only 0.25 cents!!!! YES!!!!

This rock is simply encased in plexi-glass case and a plexi-glass triangle mold???
