Sotheby's to offer Soviet robot-retrieved moon rocks at auction, again [i]The only known pieces of the moon to be collected from the lunar surface and be legally sold are returning to the auction block, 25 years after they were first offered. The three tiny lunar pebbles, which were among a small cache of moon material brought back to Earth by a Soviet robotic probe in 1970, will headline Sotheby's space exploration-themed auction on Nov. 29 in New York City. The same moon rocks were previously sold by Sotheby's for $442,500.[/i]
