So someone suggested the moon is a giant dust crystal.

I find this theory very plausible. It's possible (though not mentioned in the show) that Dust originated as meteors falling from the slowly shattering moon. As has been commented below, the aspect that the moon is able to hold its shattered pieces within the grip of its orbit is ridiculous. But if it is, in fact, a passive magical effect (in this case, meaning it's in effect without conscious demand) of the collectively volumous enormity of a Dust crystal the size of a moon, then it would make sense (in so much that no magic pays heed to logic). Possibly a mixture of Earth and Lightning Dust creates a stronger than normal magnetic field in order to enhance the satellite's (got tired of saying moon) natural gravity.
