Description: The manifestations of dust in the Galaxy, in normal galaxies, active nuclei galaxies (ANGs), and in QSOs are discussed. Findings on the composition, abundance, size distribution, and global properties of the Galaxy's dust obtained with absorption and emission studies are reviewed. The properties of dust in other galaxies, the variation of those properties among galaxies, and the effect of the dust on the appearance of galaxies are considered, discussing the LMC, M51, and M82 as examples. Evidence for the existence of dust in the nuclei of ANGs and in QSOs is examined with regard to reddening, dust emission and absorption, and polarization. The question of the existence of intergalactic dust is briefly addressed.
