Christopher Wrede, assistant professor of Physics at the Michigan State University (MSU) opines about the universe: “There is a recycling process going on here. When stars die, they spew out material in the form of dust and gas, which then gets recycled into future generations of stars and planets.”

Based on this concept, a team of researchers have come to a conclusion that the microscopic dust particles found in meteoritic material on the Earth may be particles that were formed in stellar explosions that probably occurred long before the creation of sun.

The team researching on these meteoritic dust particles believes that the explosion probably occurred around five billion years ago which caused ejection of stellar material as gas and dust into the space between stars. There is a fat chance that some of that material was used in the creation of our very own solar system.

The team is carrying out its further investigation whether the particles may have formed in a classical nova (a thermonuclear explosion on the surface of a small star which is part of a binary star system).
