While dark, iron-rich particles strongly absorb the Sun&#8217;s energy, light-colored clays reflect it. Right now, scientists don&#8217;t know whether mineral dust has a cumulative heating or cooling effect on the planet. The full spectral fingerprints that EMIT collects will help answer that question.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/nasas-mineral-dust-det-1.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/hires\/2022\/nasas-mineral-dust-det-1.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"The line graph shows spectral fingerprints for soil, vegetation, and a river.
