Neil Armstrong's Moon Dust Hits Auction Block In NYC

Lunar dust collected by the first man to set foot on the moon is hitting the auction block in New York City today.  It's a collection bag, used by Astronaut Neil Armstrong during the historic 1969 moon landing.  

It was misidentified and sold to an Illinois woman in an online government auction two years ago for just $995.  NASA went to court to get the precious artifact back but the judge ruled for the buyer.  She's selling it at Sotheby's and auction experts say she stands to make $2,000,000 to $4,000,000.
