Solid particles are followed from their creation through their
evolution in the Galaxy to their participation in the formation of
solar systems like our own, these being now clearly deduced from
observations by the Hubble Space Telescope as well as by IR and
visual observations of protostellar disks, like that of the famous
Beta Pictoris object. The most recent observational, laboratory and
theoretical methods are examined in detail. In our own solar
system, studies of meteorites, comets and comet dust reveal many
features that follow directly from the interstellar dust from which
they formed. The properties of interstellar dust provide possible
keys to its origin in comets and asteroids and its ultimate origin
in the early solar system. But this is a continuing story: what
happens to the solid particles in space after they emerge from
stellar sources has important scientific consequences since it
ultimately bears on our own origins - the origins of solar systems
and, especially, of our own earth and life in the universe.
