Summary: Micrometeorites are the remnants of larger, typically marble-sized, meteors that mostly burned up or exploded before impacting earth. Most of those brilliant "shooting stars" you see in the sky at night are merely dime-sized nuggets suffering a fiery death and giving birth to a swarm of micrometeorites. We have all been hit by micrometeorites many times in our lives. Most of us just didn't realize it until now. In this article I describes a simple collection process that allows one to make some observations on micrometeorites.
