Interstellar dust – The solid microscopic particles that are part of the interstellar medium and are responsible for interstellar light absorption are known as interstellar dust. Interstellar dust particles range in size from 0.01 to 0.2 microns. Dust particles are likely to have a solid core (graphite, silicon, or metal) surrounded by organic matter or an ice shell.
