Astrophysicists Establish the Presence of Water in Star Dust

Interstellar medium refers to the matter between the stars in a galaxy. It contains gas as well as a significant amount of dust. At a certain period of time, planets and stars evolved in such an environment, because the dust particles can cluster together and combine into celestial bodies.
