PASADENA, California, Dec. 11 (TNSres) -- NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory issued the following news:
NASA's EMIT mission has created the first comprehensive maps of the world's mineral dust-source regions, providing precise locations of 10 key minerals based on how they reflect and absorb light. When winds loft these substances into the air, they either cool or warm the atmosphere and Earth's surface, depending on their composition. Understanding their abundance . . .
