SAndstorms in space

Sandstorms in space
Summary- The scientists in Chile were looking at red giants (type of star) and a headlight from a car down the street of the telescope flashed in a certain way and the scientists discovered that they were able to see a large amount of dust around the star. It is basically dust particles that evaporate before they can ever really leave the star. But recently they discovered they are growing to a much larger quantity. About as much as the dust on a shelf you haven’t dusted in a few weeks. Its allot like a mixture of sand and dust when it’s in a large enough quantity. This is the first time heat can make a gas into a solid.
Critique- So I thought that we could only make liquids into gases and solids into liquids but this is completely skipping that. It seems like it goes from a gas and skipping a liquid and going straight to a solid particle.
Impact- All the elements and the way we look at them.
