1、In contrast, the interstellar dust collected by Stardust comes directly from local interstellar space.
2、This could compromise our ability to distinguish between interstellar dust and interplanetary dust.
3、These particles constitute the cores of the interstellar dust grains that may be coated with ice.
4、But for other astronomers, interstellar dust is useful in its own right.
5、Together, these particles form that most diffuse and insubstantial of substances -- interstellar dust.
6、It is easy to recognize: it has dust( not interstellar dust-- just dust that settled on it from the air) and scratches.
7、Stardust's cometary and interstellar dust samples will help provide answers to fundamental questions about the origins of the solar system.
8、Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape.
9、The present day interstellar dust is weighed by measuring the intensity and color of emission at longer infrared wavelengths.
10、The region features immensely powerful blue stars, which light interstellar dust grains, producing the blue part of the glow.
11、Particularly enigmatic is the bright upside-down V that defines the upper edge of this floating mountain of interstellar dust.
12、Nestled within the capsule's science canister were two sets of samples: cometary particles on one side of the aerogel collector, and interstellar dust on the other.
13、In addition, Stardust carried an equally important payload on the opposite side of the cometary collector: the first samples of contemporary interstellar dust ever collected.
14、The filaments have widths that suggest they are formed as shockwaves from exploding stars travel through the medium, sweeping up and compressing the interstellar dust and gas.
15、Whereas the cometary samples are relatively easy to extract from the collector plates, that is not the case for the interstellar dust samples.
16、The Hubble telescope captured a display of starlight, glowing gas, and silhouetted dark clouds of interstellar dust in this 4-foot-by-8-foot image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300.
17、As we have promised, we will send out one email to all pre-registered volunteers when we launch the virtual microscope and image data from the Stardust interstellar dust collector.
