It is *NOT* dust.  Scientists were very deliberate to point
out that they KNOW the particles are not dust.  (1) Dust would
have blown away when Vega ignited and (2) the infrared telescope
wouldn't have seen the dust.  Although they do not know howbig
the particles are, they do know they are at least as big
as ''buckshot.''
