Interplanetary Dust Is Deep Space Matter

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The infrared spectra of interplanetary dust collected in the stratosphere indicate that the particles are similar to the stuff of comets and protostellar clouds, according to an international research team that published its findings in the Sept. 10 issue of Science. The results of the study suggest that interplanetary dust is the purest and most primitive astrophysical material available for understanding the evolution of the solar system. The researchers analyzed thin sections of the 15-µm-diameter particles with a 10-µm infrared beam from the National Synchrotron Light...Read full article
