The finest dust on Mars sticks to spacesuit materials and stays there, according to new measurements from NASA's Perseverance rover. Over 1,645 Martian days of driving and drilling, larger clumps of dust fell off small spacesuit-fabric samples carried on the rover, while particles far smaller than a human hair remained attached, NASA reported on Oct. 26.
