Hurricane topples 'Moon Tree', whose seed orbited the Moon
The 'Moon Tree', which grew from a seed that orbited the Moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971, fell victim to Hurricane Irma which hit Florida last week. Around 500 seeds had completed 34 lunar orbits in two weeks as part of a scientific experiment. The tree was planted in 1976, during celebrations for 200 years of US' independence.
