Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt collected the last samples of moon rocks to bring back to Earth in 1972. The astronauts took measurements of the moon rocks using three categories not affected by gravity. This is because the Earth and moon have different forces of gravity. Which measurement did they NOT use?
