Interstellar Dust Measured In Situ by Ulysses
Impacts of interstellar dust (ISD) grains on the Ulysses spacecraft allowed for the first successful in situ measurement of ISD (Grün et al. 1993). Long-term measurements of ISD with Ulysses and comparisons with numerical simulations (Landgraf 1998; Sterken et al. 2015) have since revealed previously unknown details of ISD. For example, Krüger et al. (2015) [...]The post Interstellar Dust Measured In Situ by Ulysses appeared first on Astrobiology.
