[…] The space between stars is full of tiny particles. There are even smaller molecules, atoms and particles. There are also specks of dust not unlike the specks of sand on a beach. Want to know how these particles and even the dust grains ended up in the middle of the stars
The truth is that several of these tiny particles and atoms were ejected by the stars themselves, but others have been wandering through space since the formation of the Universe. The molecules and most grains are formed in regions of the interstellar medium that are denser: the so-called “nebulae”. And it is precisely in these nebulae that the stars are born. Currently, more than 150 molecules are known that can form in the interstellar medium. One of the most abundant molecules is water!
