One grain of lunar dust, micro-photographed on Maui by inventor and scientist Gary Greenberg, under the supervision of NASA contractors Carol and Christopher Kiely, shows the optically maturity and nanophase iron typical of the dusty lunar surface, abrasive even when microscopic, and subject to charging, levitation and fall out; a problem for man and machine about which NASA is making slow progress.
