Examples of interstellar in a Sentence

1. Don Gurnett:

   Think of a cold front that forms when a very cold air mass comes down to the U.S. from Canada, here we find a very hot plasma mass coming outward from the sun that encounters the cold plasma in the interstellar medium. It does not surprise me that a sharp boundary forms.

2. Professor Lattanzio:

   A series of astronomical observations obtained over the period 1986 to 2018 supports the idea that life is a cosmic rather than a purely terrestrial or planetary phenomenon, these include the detection of biologically relevant molecules in interstellar clouds and comets, mid-infrared spectra of interstellar grains and the dust from comets, a diverse set of data from comets including the Rosetta mission showing consistency with biology and the frequency of Earth-like or habitable planets in the Galaxy.

3. Darryl Seligman:

   The comets and asteroids in the solar system have arguably taught us more about planet formation than what we’ve learned from the actual planets in the solar system, i think that the interstellar comets could arguably tell us more about extrasolar planets than the extrasolar planets we are trying to get measurements of today.

4. Don Gurnett:

It's just astonishing how fluids, including plasmas, form boundaries.

5. Davide Farnocchia:

   The high velocity indicates not only that the object likely originated from outside our solar system, but also that it will leave and head back to interstellar space.
