Rene Decart - the first attempt to reconcile Galilei's and Kepler's ideas. ... Decart system was the first attempt to describe the origin of Universe without miracles and divinely wonders, he scientifically explained the planets turning to one side and in one plane and its coordinated rotation. Young Newton was meditating over Decart's ideas and Newton pointed out the planets as the celestial bodies, which "wandered" near the Sun in any directions. ...

... The dynamics of silicate and graphite particles with radii of (0.1-2) 10 -5 cm in the vicinity of the Milky Way is considered. The equation of motion of dust grains is integrated with gravitational attraction, radiation pressure, gas drag, and dust destruction taken into account. The effect of other factors on the motion of grains are discussed. ... Dust is swept out of the Galaxy by radiation pressure from stars at a rate of 0.04 M o yr -1 . ...
