No borders for dust

• Terrestrial dust consists of tiny fragments from larger objects, including shoes, ships, sealing wax, cabbages, and kings.
• Wind-driven dust, composed of stone and clay fragments, has created canyons and pillars in the American West.
• Dust from ancient Plains Indians, soot from unburied automobile fuel, and volcanic ash lingers in the upper atmosphere, producing brilliant sunsets thousands of miles away.
• Dusting may seem futile due to the static electric charge created by dust cloth friction.
• Antistatic sprays can provide a thin layer of insulation between the opposite charges.
