Exploring Mars – Simulated Regolith from Craters and Valleys
Bring a piece of Mars to Earth with this fascinating set of simulated regolith, designed to mimic the surface of the Red Planet. Based on data from NASA's rover missions, this set gives you the chance to explore both global averages and unique locations like Jezero Crater - an ancient lakebed filled with geological history. Perfect for science enthusiasts, education or as a truly unique gift for space enthusiasts!

Why you'll love it:

• A perfect and unique gift for someone who already has everything or who is impossible to buy presents for – this is something they are guaranteed not to have!

What is regolith?
Regolith is the loose surface layer of dust, rock, and minerals that covers a planet. On Mars, regolith is rich in iron, giving the planet its iconic red color. The regolith of Jezero Crater is particularly interesting because of its mineral composition, which reveals clues about Mars' geological history and its potential for once harboring life.
