This is evidenced by the millions of craters that cover the Moon's surface. Thankfully the bombardments have slowed down considerably in the last few hundred million years, but they still do occur from time to time. Lunar meteorites are material ejected from our Moon's surface when it gets hit by a meteorite. If the impact has enough energy, some of the ejecta gets thrown so far it escapes the Moon's gravity becoming meteoroids hurtling through space. Some of those lunar meteoroids have the potential to eventually be captured by Earth's gravity and come screaming through the atmosphere to hit the surface. Once they hit the Earth's surface, they earn the designation of being a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003emeteorite\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
