These tiny grains,known as cosmic dust,are similar to very fine soot or sand. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have for the first time found that the outer region of a dusty disc encircling a brown dwarf a star-like object,but one too small to shine brightly like a star also contains millimetre-sized solid grains like those found in denser discs around newborn stars.
