Dusty has been locating and producing images of micrometeorites since first learning about them in 2020. After hearing the inspiring story of how Jon Larsen located the very first micrometeorite in an urban environment in 2016, Dusty took it on as a personal project to educate people about these tiny beautiful space gems that are mixed into the dirt all around us. So far he has collected around 200 micrometeorites.

As they are far too small to be understood with the naked eye, his images allow their cosmic beauty to be appreciated up close and in high resolution, where their unique shape, color, and various other formations can give us clues about how each one came to be. 

Topic: Micrometeorites. Did you know that the vast majority of meteorites that fall to the earth every day are so small they're almost invisible? Every day, anywhere from 40 to 100 tons of space dust makes its way down to the surface of the earth. So why aren't we just stumbling over meteorites every time we go outside? Well it turns out we are, and it's just a matter of knowing where to look, and what to look for.
