On the Importance of Presolar Grains for Planetary Science
Presolar stardust grains formed in the outflows or explosions of ancient stars and provide information about a wide range of astrophysical/cosmochemical topics. NASA should continue to robustly support research on presolar grains and the development, acquisition, and upkeep of the advanced microanalytical instrumentation required for their study.
