A minuscule amount of lunar dust collected by Neil Armstrong during Apollo 11, the mission that first put men on the Moon, has been sold for $504,375 at an auction on Wednesday.

A commemorative plaque brought to the moon on the Apollo 11 mission went under the hammer for $468,500 in Texas, as part of a huge collection that once belonged to late astronaut Neil Armstrong, auctioneers said.

Containing over 2,000 items, the collection will go on sale in a series of three auctions with the first in November 2018 and other two in May and November 2019.
