Reminds me of a tabloid article I saw posted at USGS claiming that the moon
was the skull of a space monster. It fortunately died just before it could
devour our atmosphere. This explains the face-like "man in the moon"
appearance of the full moon. The low density of the moon relative to the
earth is explained becauses skulls are hollow. I do not recall any mention
of dust.
