Space dust
‘A Norwegian musician who looks for micrometedrites — thy rocks from outer space
Every day, millons of tiny rocks from space, no
bigger than specks of dust, reach our planet,
Known as micrometeorites, they are Billions
of years old, and were once part of the oldest
rocks in our solar system. Accordingtoexperts,
about 12 micrometeorites now land on every
square metre of our planet every year. Ths
might not sound much, but in total it comes
to 100 tonnes a day. 12 tonnes of that mass
consists of water molecules. Furthermore, the
‘micrometeorites also contain complex organic
molecules of the sort required, for Instance,
for DNA. So this abundant rain of particles
contains, as well as water, the stuff of life Itsel.
However, every day, other tiny particles also
land, but they're not from outer space: things
like dust from construction, exhaust fumes and
sand, These terrestrial particles outnumber
the micrometeorites by'a billion to one. So
when Jon Larsen, a Norwegian jazz musician,
became fascinated by micrometeorites and
began looking for them, he thought he would
probably be unsuccessful. The experts he
contacted were certain he would be. Until
then, the only micrometeorites ever identified
hhad ‘been found in the Antaretie. Since
falling to Earth billions of years ago, these
hhad mostly been locked into rock and ice.
Scientists knew how important iis to study
micrometeorites, and were tantalised by the
prospect that they might contain hints as
to how life started on Earth. Yet no one had
lever found recently arrived examples n fact,
so extremely unlikely was it, that they hadn't

What intrigued Larsen was that, if
imicrometeorites were regularly falling to
Earth in such numbers, where were they? ‘It

Genge, a senior lecturer at Imperial College
London. For years we'dseenamateurs posting
online about collecting micrometeorites,”
says Genge. ‘When they contact us we tell
them It's net possible. That's what he told
Larsen. ‘Bur he was persistent and. kept
emailing me photos of possible particles,
Larsen, to be fal, was far from starry-eyed. He
had a humbe, but also In some ways grand,
Vision for his project. His idea was to make a
start, and perhaps devise a system that would
eventually be perfected
His technique was actually to look not for
‘micrometeorites, but for the things that
weren't, and like a detective, eliminate them
from his enquiries, Finally, after six years, he
found something he coulda’t classy: it was
‘smooth, dark, shiny, eggshaped, and almost

they fall elsewhere, then theyl also be earrying

And i that's the case, the implications are very
‘exciting. You can say that planets that have these
bombardmerts are more likely to have life”
Sclentists couldn't investigate this, however,
‘until they had Larsen’s examples to study.
