Abstract

Cassini detects interstellar dust grains The interstellar medium contains an array of small solid particles known as dust grains. Altobelli et al. used the dust analyzer on the Cassini probe to detect 36 interstellar dust grains as they passed by Saturn, and they measured the grains' elemental abundances. The results show that, remarkably, these grains lack carbon-bearing compounds and have been homogenized in the interstellar medium into silicates with iron inclusions. Science , this issue p. 312
