Fractal Interstellar Dust Up-Close

NASA APOD · E. L. Wright (UCLA)
COSMIC MESSAGE

Our universe is a dusty place, and this image shows a close-up of interstellar dust. Unlike house dust, interstellar dust grains are composed mainly of silicates and graphites. Astronomers study how this dust absorbs, emits, and reflects light to understand its properties, as its appearance up close is still a mystery.
