An astronaut flying high above Earth on the space station just snapped a photo of an ancient, glowing white rock formation in Madagascar that looks exactly like the surface of the Moon! This mega-rock is made of anorthosite [a rare, pale rock that covers most of the Moon] and is over 600 million years old. Imagine walking on a piece of our world that feels just like stepping onto the Moon itself!
