It is thought that over 1,000 kilograms of so-called interplanetary dust falls to Earth every day. This dust is essentially an untold number of small faint meteors, discarded remnants of asteroids and comets that pass by the Earth. Two ways to study faint meteors are radar and optical observations, each with advantages and limitations. Astronomers have combined specific observations with both methods, and can now use radar to make the kinds of observations that previously only optical telescopes could make. (1)
Weighting against something.
Because without nothing you have no weight.
Floating in space. Looking at each other.
Among weightless stars.
(Do you feel important?)
Poets whispering. Looking at the Moon.
It has weight only because of the Sun.
Wandering in the forest.
No, it was never about your weight in the first place.
The Earth. Touch it. Feel it.
The only reason it has weight is because of you!
(Why are your hands so clean?)
