Transcript:

Hi, this is Shaila Akhter from UNSW Australia. I welcome you all to my 365 days of Astronomy Podcasts! Today, I will talk about the Interstellar Medium. In simple terms, the medium between stars is called the Interstellar Medium, or in short the ISM. It is the thin mixture of gas, dust and high-energy particles. In my podcast, I will discuss about:

  • What is the ISM?
  • Where does this ISM come from?
  • The components of the ISM.
  • The Structure and Physical Properties of the ISM, etc.

If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below!

Hope you will enjoy it!
