Quick Introduction to Cosmic Spherules
-
What are cosmic spherules?
Cosmic spherules are micrometeorites (dust sized particles from space) that formed by melting during their atmospheric entry. They are often spherical, smooth, shiny, and dark in colour.
-
How can I find them?
Cosmic spherules fall all across Earth’s surface. They have been found commonly in Antarctic ice sheets and on the sea floor, but they are easily found in urban spaces upon flat rooftops.
-
Are all tiny spherical objects from space?
Sadly, no. There are a lot of “micrometeor-wrongs” out there such as firework spherules and industrial metal, but there are lots of ways to identify and distinguish them from the real things.
