- What is the broad composition of interstellar dust?
I have seen that interstellar dust contains the detritus of supernova explosions. But whet else does it contain?
How uniform is it? Does its compositions vary significantly from place to place?
This question started with wondering whether one could back out the origins of the Earth from it's chemical composition. I asked myself whether one could for instance identify a particular supernova explosion that explains its composition.
