Dust formed during an earlier epoch could be different from that formed at a later time, but the nature and composition of dust is not presently understood in its entirety. The comprehensive study presented in this book provides a much needed critical analysis of different types of dust in the universe. The information derived from presolar grains from comets, meteorites and interplanetary dust particles as well as the relevant laboratory studies are discussed. This should help in our goal of understanding the evolutio 410 0$aWorld Scientific series in astronomy and astrophysics ;$vv. 7. 606 $aCosmic dust 606 $aInterstellar matter 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmic dust. 615 0$aInterstellar matter. 676 $a523.1125 700 $aKrishna Swamy$b K.
