Lunar dust may hide tiny parts of alien machinery, brought by the light of distant stars. A handful of such soil could reveal whether other civilizations built interstellar ships—or if we are alone in the Galaxy.

🎯 Some interstellar dust grains wander space for billions of years—longer than life has existed on Earth.

🎬 The plot of searching for an extraterrestrial artifact on the Moon is reminiscent of Arthur C. Clarke's '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
