Space Dust That Just Won’t Quit

Astronomers just spotted dust from the galaxy Makani making an insane journey way beyond its home, surviving in space conditions that should’ve totally destroyed it. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, we now know these dust grains are tougher than we thought—possibly shielded by cooler gas pockets as they travel. This discovery is changing how we see galaxies grow, recycle, and evolve. Who knew cosmic dust could be such a survivor? #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceDust
