Have you ever wondered, how much dust is there in space, where did it come from and how did it come?

It is said about the space that it is mostly empty. It looks clean. But the truth is that there is a lot of dust in space. But have you ever wondered how this dust was formed and in what quantity it is present in space, and more importantly, where did this dust come from? Scientists consider this dust i.e. cosmic dust very important. Let us know the truth about this dust and find out what, why and how it is?

Scientists believe that astronomical dust is made up of very fine particles that float in space. These are about 80 micrometers. These are smaller than human hair. These particles come from asteroids and comets. This dust is very different from the dust spread on Earth. Things like carbon, silicate, ice, metal are found in it.

A large part of cosmic dust comes from the places of birth of stars in space. Stars are made of clouds of dust and gas only. If all the particles are unable to enter the star, the remaining particles go into space as dust. Over time they accumulate and take up space between the stars. Dust also comes from planets like Mars, moons, outer parts of the galaxy etc. Apart from this, a lot of dust also spreads in space during the explosion of stars.

Often dust particles collide with each other and start joining, gradually this process starts accelerating and bodies like planets and moon start forming. This process continues at different levels and it also plays a role in forming galaxies. The interesting thing is that this dust also contributes to the formation of stars.

Dust particles never stay in one place. They keep floating in space. Often they also block the light coming from distant stars. Because of these, many interesting sights can be seen in space. It is said that it is made up of particles invisible in space, but cosmic dust makes a major contribution in the formation of the universe.
