Catching a Micrometeorite

his programme aims to introduce students to meteorite classification, the processes of meteorite and micrometeorite discovery, and to practically test micrometeorite collection techniques. Participants are allowed to search for and find tiny particles from space. The programme includes information about meteorites and micrometeorites on Earth, an introduction to micrometeorite traps, and guidance on how to build one at home. Using microscopes, participants search for micrometeorites and, if successful, may take their findings with them.
