Cosmic dust


It sounds magical, but most likely you inhale it every day on the way to work, during a trip to the store or corny, opening a window. Continuously, dust from meteorites, comets and other small bodies of the Solar System falls to Earth in the form of tiny particles that increase the level of sodium and iron in the atmosphere of the planet.

Scientists studying this natural phenomenon have estimated that, in total, about 60 tons of cosmic dust fall on the Earth every day.
