Description
What is cosmic dust? Today we have many ways to study it, ranging from microwave frequencies to X-rays. We can even examine actual dust particles that were trapped in meteorites at the time of the formation of the Solar system, and we can learn things from dust particles striking spacecraft today. We have learned a lot, but important questions remain.
