These layers of ice, compacted over centuries, perhaps millennia, form an archive of climate indicators, yielding data on past snowfall, temperatures, atmosphere and dust.

Donkey carts and tractors jostled for space with pickups and larger transport trucks, the diesel fumes mixing with dust and the salty sea air.

“You didn’t think we’d get through October without a dust up did you?”

Stretching several thousand kilometers across, it forms as sunlight warms the comet, releasing gas and dust that collect into a hazy halo around the core.

Due to their immense gravity, black holes can gobble up matter nearby, resulting in rings of gas and dust moving around them.
