Giant Patch of Moon-like Anorthosite Rock Discovered in Madagascar

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station photographed a remarkable geological formation in Madagascar that strikingly resembles the bright highlands of the Moon. This formation is composed of anorthosite, a rock type abundant on the lunar surface, and dates back at least 600 million years. Studying such terrestrial anorthosite deposits can provide valuable insights into the geological processes associated with the formation and evolution of lunar material.
