I WISH to speculate on the consequences of considering together two astronomical observations. First, the Sun emits a matter flux of ~ 1012 g s-1 in the form of a solar wind1. The chemical composition seems to be rather similar to the solar photospherie composition2. So it incorporates a fractional mass of about 1% of atoms which are good candidates for grain formation (ices as CH4, NH3, H2O; dusts as silicates and irons). Thus a flux of ~ 1010 g s-1 of condensable matter flows away in the remote parts of the Solar System.
