This review summarizes the observational characteristics of those interstellar grains, which are prevented from entering the solar system by interactions with the heliopause. Such grains are typically <100 nm in radius, and they reveal their presence by interstellar absorption at ultraviolet wavelengths and by nonequilibrium emissions in the red and near-infrared portions of the spectrum. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
