Translation of "interstellar dust" into Croatian

A thick layer of interstellar dust obscures much of the Galaxy from scrutiny by optical telescopes, and astronomers can determine its large-scale structure only with the aid of radio and infrared telescopes, which can detect the forms of radiation that penetrate the obscuring matter.

Gusti sloj međuzvjezdane prašine skriva veliki dio Galaksije od ispitivanja optičkim teleskopima, a astronomi mogu odrediti njezinu ogromnu strukturu samo uz pomoć radio i infracrvenih teleskopa, koji mogu detektirati oblike zračenja koje prodire kroz tamnu tvar.
