Mars dust is a big problem for solar-powered spacecraft on Mars, covering their panels and choking off their source of sunlight. But what impact will it have on humans? In a new paper, researchers studied the potential health impact of Martian dust on future astronauts and found the particles were very small and could easily penetrate the lungs. It's electrostatic, magnetic, and highly oxidative, which means it can cause a variety of lung damage and respiratory issues.
