Properties of cometary dust with regard to bulk density, optical characteristics and sizes, derived from recent observations, are used to model scattering properties of cometary and interstellar grains. A wide range of astronomical observations are shown to be explained if cometary objects are hypothesised as a major source of dust grains in the galaxy.
