When the crew of Apollo 17 returned from the moon, they brought back a 3.9 billion-year-old lunar rock that is now exposed inside the White House Oval Office.
A small stone held by a metal container wrapped in glass is placed on a bookshelf containing items destined to remind Americans of the ambitions and achievements of previous generations.
NASA lent it to the moon rock at the request of the Biden Administration.
On the basis of the structure is an inscription dedicated to the three men of the Apollo 17 mission who were NASA's last astronauts walking across the lunar surface.
The moon's rock contains a number of tiny craters made up of micro-meteor influences that have erupted it for more than millions of years.
