      Hello Harry! What a fantastic question! You must have realised that there are other moons around other planets in our Solar System like Jupiter and Saturn. Saturn has over 60 moons! I haven’t studied any rocks from these moons yet because we haven’t been able to land a space-craft on the moons in order to collect and then (the hardest part) return them safely to Earth! I’m sure it will happen one day but perhaps you (rather than me) will be the scientist in charge when that happens!! : -)
