I deleted some stuff about tektites and replaced it with a sentence explaining the relevant information about tektites in this context. .Furthermore, there is a link to the tektite article in which the same information about the lunar origin theory is given.

[edit] Suggestions for improvement before nominating as a Good article

I think that this article is in good shape, and would like to nominate it for a good article soon. Beforehand, I have a few comments for improving this article

• "Cosmic ray exposure history established with noble gas measurements have shown that all lunar meteorites were ejected from the Moon in the past 20 million years. Most left the Moon in the past 100,000 years." should be referenced.
• "After leaving the Moon, most lunar meteoroids go into orbit around Earth and eventually succumb to Earth's gravity. Some meteoroids ejected from the Moon get launched into orbits around the sun." This should be referenced as well. I thought that most go into orbit about the sun, not the Earth, but I could be wrong.
• "There are also speculations about the possibility of finding "Earth meteorites" on the surface of the Moon." should be referenced.
• Would it be appropriate to add external links to meteorite dealers? Probably not.
