Interstellar Ice

Interstellar Ice

This composition of interstellar ice could be determined through the infrared spectrum. Interstellar ice consists of grains of volatiles from the ice phase that form from the interstellar medium. Ice and airborne dirt and dust grains form the primary material out that the Solar Program was formed. Grains of ice are only in the dense regions of molecular clouds, where new stars tend to be formed.
