[meteorite-list] Moon Dust

[JoshuaTreeMuseum]

This story has already gone viral. The Washington Post, considered by many 
to be an impeccable souce, (rightly or wrongly) just misspoke the truth 
twice.

"It is illegal for individuals to own moon material."

"The woman said she was unaware of the history of the dust, and gave it up 
to authorities. Regency-Superior Auctions president David Kols said the 
company knew it was illegal to own moon rocks, but not moon dust, and once 
he learned all lunar material was illegal to possess, the auction was 
cancelled."
