🌙 Lunar regolith holds time itself: minerals from the Moon's molten past, glass spherules from impacts, and footprints preserved for millions of years.

🔬 Apollo astronauts said it smelled like gunpowder.

✨ This dust preserves over 4 billion years of bombardment that Earth's active surface erased.

🌌 Where cosmic violence writes history in dust finer than flour.
