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 been made in observing local interstellar dust in the Solar System using a variety of methods that, all together, provide complementary views of the dust particles from …
The Dawn of Dust Astronomy
Krüger, Harald; Grün, Eberhard; Srama, Ralf
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 source objects. A multitude of observational techniques is available for the scientific study of space dust: from meteors and interplanetary dust particles collected in th…
