The intricate whorls and striations of dust that drift between the stars have just been revealed in stupefying detail. In new images from JWST, we're finally seeing exquisite details of the flow and ...

Astronomers mapping interstellar dust in three dimensions have identified a giant spherical void in the Milky Way, roughly ...

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory captured a protective astrosphere around HD 61005, providing direct observation of a Sun-like star’s wind interacting with surrounding interstellar material ...

The dust grains themselves are the building blocks for what will eventually become the solid bodies of planets like our Earth. In fact, within the interstellar medium of our galaxy, most of the ...

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will help scientists better understand our Milky Way galaxy's less sparkly components—gas and dust strewn between stars, known as the interstellar medium.

An instrument built by the University of Colorado Boulder will soon launch on a NASA space mission where it will aim to collect interstellar dust particles hurtling through space at an average of 16 ...

Interstellar dust extinction as a research area investigates the wavelength-dependent attenuation of starlight and other electromagnetic radiation by dust grains in the interstellar medium, with ...

Saturn's moon Enceladus is a frozen world, but it isn't frozen solid. Colossal cryovolcanoes near the ice-locked moon's south pole send plumes from its briny global ocean so far into space that they ...

The study of dust dynamics in the solar system encompasses the investigation of the origins, transport, and interactions of micrometre‐ and nanometre‐scaled particles within the complex heliospheric ...
