Scientific paper

We review evidence for the widespread occurrence of iron grains in the form of long slender whiskers of radii ~0.01 μm and lengths in the range ~5 μm and 1 mm in the Galaxy and in extragalactic sources. Such particles are characterized by their property of being able to thermalize starlight to much longer wavelengths than is possible with standard interstellar grains. The cosmological role of iron whiskers is briefly discussed.
