Micrometerorites – what you can find in your rain gutters

Exotic space dust, micrometerorites rains down on us every day and you can collect it from sludge in your rain gutters! Surf the web and see for yourself; examples:Ron Miller and Robert Beauford

Here are some pictures of the dust; a small needle is used for scale - suitably magnetic too! But not all micrometeriorites are magnetic, some are carbonaceous chondrites.

  • Micrometeorites stuck to magnetic small needle.
  • Micrometeorites on eye of magnetised eye of a small needle. Mean size is 50µm.
