Presolar grains are tiny mineral grains that formed in the stellar environments prior to the formation of the solar system, meaning they existed in other stars before they were ejected into space and eventually incorporated into the material that formed the Sun, planets, and other bodies in our solar system. These grains are typically just a few micrometers in size and can consist of various materials, including silicates, oxides, and carbonaceous compounds.
