How to Find Stardust
$25 USD
This book is a step-by-step guide to collecting, identifying, and photographing urban micrometeorites with everyday household items.
How To Find Stardust is Jon Larsen's ultimate guide to finding your own micrometeorites. He describes how to separate alien rocks from their terrestrial imposters with step by step, illustrated examples that are explained in an easy way.
The first part of the book discusses gear and equipment, and features everyday items that you probably own already, or could purchase at your local grocery or hardware store. He then describes how, where, and when to use these tools. Next Jon delivers a brief presentation on the various spherules you can expect to find in urban dust, including Earthly imposters, such as industrial and naturally occurring particles, as well as micrometeorites. The last part of the book is about how to identify, photograph, and store micrometeorites so that your collection will be well organized and secure. Beautiful color images accompany this guide throughout.
We think you'll find that stardust hunting is fun activity for all ages that fuses science and art and we invite you to use this book as a roadmap that will guide you through the maze of contaminants found in dust from populated areas.
