Most meteorites are the remnants of planetoids from the early Solar System but a small number originate from the lunar surface. When a particularly strong impactor hits the Moon's surface, it can eject surface debris at speeds high enough to break from the body's gravitational pull, forming new meteors. As of 2023, only 649 of the over 80,000 known meteorite finds have been classified as lunar meteorites. This makes them incredibly rare, with only 0.80% of known meteorites having originated from the Moon. The geologic makeup of this meteorite is feldspar breccia.
