Stardust Factory Solves 25-year-old Mystery of Impossible Dust Researchers using a "stardust factory" at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., have solved a mystery of how dying stars make silicate dust at high temperatures. Understanding this process helps us understand our origin, because this dust will become part of another generation of stars and planets, just as previous generations of stars contributed dust grains into our solar system that at least on one planet led to life.
