During a press briefing,
Scientists discussed new findings by NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or
IBEX spacecraft which are helping fill holes in our knowledge about the matter
found between the stars in our Milky Way galaxy. IBEX, whose primary focus has
been the interaction between our solar system and what lies beyond, has
directly sampled multiple heavy elements within this interstellar medium, the
same materials of which stars, planets -- even people, are made.
