Scientists in the UK have received special moon dust from China. This dust is very rare and valuable. It came from a Chinese space mission in 2020.
The dust is now in a safe place in Milton Keynes. Only one scientist in the UK, Professor Mahesh Anand, can study it. He says it's more precious than gold.
Scientists will use special tools to look at the dust. They hope to learn about how the Moon was made. This could also help us understand Earth's early history.
