Cosmic dust, which is made of elements such as carbon, oxygen, iron and other atoms heavier than hydrogen and helium, is a key ingredient for making planets and even ourselves.

Cosmic dust analyzer: Studies ice and dust grains in and near the Saturn system.
Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) : The Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) is a direct sensing instrument that measures the size, speed, and direction of tiny dust grains near Saturn.
cosmic dust Finely divided solid matter with particle sizes smaller than a micrometeorite, thus with diameters much smaller than a millimeter, moving in interplanetary space. See dust.
After originally condensing, by gravitational attraction of cosmic dust and gas, the earth would have been almost homogeneous and relatively cool.
Cosmic dust is made up of small grains of silicates, iron, carbon, frozen water and ammonia ice 0.1 to 0.01 microns (μm) in size. Although this cosmic dust only makes up 1% of the mass of the ISM it absorbs and scatters light from stars.
ALMA is capable of seeing cosmic dust, the cold ashes from exploded stars. Like the black outlines in a child's coloring book, cosmic dust and cold gas trace out structures inside galaxies, even if we can't see those galaxies clearly.
Cosmic dust particles effectively obscure parts of the visible universe, such as the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, but this dust is transparent in the IR wavelengths.
The cosmic dust detector registered 17 hits in a 15 minute span on September 15, part of an apparent micrometeoroid shower which temporarily changed the spacecraft attitude and probably slightly damaged the thermal shield.
There are 11 scientific instruments on board Ulysses, investigating phenomena ranging from the solar wind to cosmic dust and gamma-ray bursts.

Solar nebula: The immense cloud of gas and particles of floating cosmic dust from which our Solar System (Sun and planets) condensed 4.6 billion years ago.
In the case of young stars, accretion disks contain unconsolidated material, such as cosmic dust grains, which may subsequently accrete to form planets and other sizable objects (see planetary systems, formation).
These micrometeorites (often referred to as interplanetary or cosmic dust) also accumulate on the bottom of the deep ocean. The larger ones can be identified and separated from cores drilled from the muddy deposits on the seafloor.
examination by space probes has shown them to be more dust than ice, suggesting that the name "snowy dirtball" would be more appropriate, and also shown that they are low-density objects, full of voids, with one astronomer calling them "cosmic dust ...

The newly formed dust will immediately assist in surficide reactions. The stellar winds from AGB stars are sites of cosmic dust formation, and are believed to be the main production sites of dust in the universe.
Some meteors are bits broken off asteroids, others -- mere cosmic dust -- are cast off by comets. (And one more term: A meteoroid is an object in space that may, if it enters our atmosphere, become a meteor.) ...
