Dusty glow - We don't often get fog in the semi-arid climate of the Texas Panhandle, but sometimes, a van pulling a trailer will kick up a ton of dust on a gravel road, and then I can pretend there's fog, hahaha. - Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Randall County, Texas, USA (December 2024) #Texas #TexasPanhandle #tree #trees #winter #sun #sunset #dust #nature #outdoors #landscape #nationalwildliferefuge #Fujifilm

“Perhaps most interestingly, these new observations suggest the dust & ice that make up 3I/ATLAS are similar to those of the comets that formed within our Solar System.
That suggests comets from within our Solar System & those from interstellar space share similar formation processes..”

Ice & dust really are the great ecological storytellers... Telling of the deep time & ecological futures of Earth, & a wider universe of bodies transforming through the same processes.

The #Dust #Bowl was the result of a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s.

The phenomenon was caused by a combination of natural factors (severe drought) and human-made factors.

It is intuitive to associate mineral dust to places that are dry, but dust in the air can actually help make clouds and precipitation. #dust #atmosphere #climate #clouds #weather #Earthscience
