Fractal Interstellar Dust Up-Close

COSMIC MESSAGE

Our universe is full of dust, but interstellar dust grains are very different from the dust we find in our homes. They are made of different materials and absorb, emit, and reflect light in unique ways. Scientists study how this dust interacts with light to understand its composition and structure.
