Interstellar dust particles were discovered in situ, in the solar system, with the Ulysses
mission's dust detector in 1992. Ever since, more interstellar dust particles have been …

Interstellar dust from the Local Interstellar Cloud was detected unambiguously for the first
time in 1992 (Grün et al. in Nature 362: 428–430, 1993). Since then, great progress has …

Seven particles captured by the Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector and returned to Earth for
laboratory analysis have features consistent with an origin in the contemporary interstellar …

The sizes of interstellar grains are widely distributed, ranging from a few angstroms to a few
micrometers. The ultraviolet (UV) and optical extinction constrains the dust in the size range …

We review the development of dust science from the first ground-based astronomical
observations of dust in space to compositional analysis of individual dust particles and their …

Our solar system is filled with meteoric particles, or cosmic dust, which is either
interplanetary or interstellar in origin. Interstellar dust (ISD) enters the heliosphere due to the …

Abstract The JAXA/ISAS spacecraft DESTINY+ will be launched to the active asteroid (3200)
Phaethon in 2022. Among the proposed core payload is the DESTINY+ Dust Analyzer …

Planetary exploration mission concepts that include flying directly through material for
collection and/or analysis are becoming increasingly common, with Enceladus water ice …

Interstellar dust (ISD) in the solar system was detected in situ for the first time in 1993 by the
Ulysses dust detector. The study of ISD is important for understanding its role in star and …
