I would love see a few of those! (Address: Jon Larsen, PO Box 5202 Majorstua, 0302 Oslo). This may one of the culprits. Thanks again! This is very, very interesting!

It's all linked together: the main part of the micrometeorites that is reaching Earth are so small that they drift around in the atmosphere (= aerosole particles). Nasa scientists collect micrometeorites from the upper atmosphere by plane. And I remember having read someones estimate on how many mic...

Thank you very much! And yes, Steve, that is obvious...!

Aha! Thanks again for the info. But what is the photo?

Wt@#! What is this beauty? Not so easy to see the details, but I get the outline... amazing!

Hello again, Steve, and you are absolutely right: a wide net. AND I will also try to rent some gear, AND ask for more samples at our local workshops. That is a safety net, try see if we get the same result from various sources (as many as possible). One day's drive from here is one of the main build...

Hello again, Steve, and many thanks for your swift, and positive reply. YES - (actually; YES!!!!!) - I am very, very interested in this, and your offer to participate is most appreciated. In order for this to have the optimal scientific value, it is very important to (as best as we can) to separate ...

But do any of you guys know how how to separate the small spheres of iron oxide created by an ox fuel cutting torch from apperently identical iron oxide spheres created by a falling star? Would any of you be willing to send me - on behalf of "science and progress" (he-he, but I'm serious) ...

Hm...

Wow! I am absolutely not an expert on meteorites in the macro size, but I grew up in a place where they had been melting iron (I do not know the proper English words for this and the process when you burn the raw material from nature to get the iron, sorry), and these photos, to me, looks like the r...

Hello welders and cutting torch operators everywhere: did you know that nothing on earth are more similar to small meteorites - micrometeorites - than slag, cinder, "pearls" and leftovers from welding and cutting torches? http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/183762_19605370708318...
