Today I found out Moon dust smells like spent gunpowder. This is according to the astronauts that have had the opportunity to smell fresh Moon dust that had been tracked into the lunar module after excursions out on the surface of the Moon.
The astronauts didn’t just smell the dust though, they also touched and tasted it. They say it feels like soft snow, though despite the softness is surprisingly abrasive, extremely clingy, and near impossible to brush off. The taste apparently is also very similar to gunpowder, according to Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke.
