This paper reviews our current knowledge of interstellar and circumstellar dust from an observational point of view. It is concluded that interstellar dust is highly heterogenous. It consist of a large number of different materials formed in a great variety of stellar birthsites under varying conditions and each with a highly isotopically anomalous composition in its main elements.
