Space secret revealed in $400,000 moon dust up for sale
You can now buy moon dust from Nasa’s Apollo 11 mission for $400,000 dollars, but there’s a creepy crawly catch
Moon dust collected in 1969 by Apollo 11 astronauts has just gone up for auction.
The moon dust is from Neil Armstong’s famous Nasa mission.
It was the mission that made him the first human to stand on the lunar surface.
There’s a disgusting space secret to reveal though, and it involves coach roaches.
The moon dust was once eaten by the creatures.
This was part of an experiment to see if the lunar dust had a negative impact on them.
The three cockroaches that ate the lunar dust were then killed and dissected.
Scientists removed the dust from their stomachs and found no evidence to suggest that the sample was toxic.
Bidding has started in the “Remarkable Rarities” auction and will continue until June 23 if critter moon dust tickles your fancy.
