Stardust is the remnants of dying stars. When stars reach the end of their lives, they release gas and dust into space, forming stardust! This dust floated through the universe long before the Earth or the sun existed. Some of it helped form our solar system — and us! Scientists find stardust in meteorites and study it to learn how planets began. Stardust tells the story of where we all come from.
