City Star Dust

Micrometeorites are some of the oldest matter that exists. Part of the 60 tons of cosmic dust that falls to Earth every day, they have been collected from remote areas, in polar snows and deep-sea sediments. See these tiny but mighty objects from outer space thanks to local community scientist, Scott Peterson, who works with Department of Earth Sciences research associate Anette von der Handt to image and identify the composition of his samples of tiny rocks from space.

Tickets are available on site or online.
