$25 USD
Jon Larsen presents the inspiring story of how he discovered the world's first urban micrometeorite when every expert he consulted told him he would fail.
Over the past one hundred years, scientists searched for these exotic particles, the enigmatic micrometeorites, in populated areas and never found them. Micrometeorites had been found by the thousands in the cold ice of Antarctica, in deep lake beds, and in space. But finding stardust among the hubbub of Earth- and human-made lookalikes in urban areas was believed to be simply impossible.
In Star Hunter, Jon Larsen takes readers on a journey, beginning with his strawberry moment, through his seven years of searching, to the moment when he found the world's first urban micrometeorite.
Through this tale, we join Jon in the streets, on rooftops, in meetings with angry scientists, through all the ups and downs until that victorious moment.
Jon Larsen found the missing pieces of the puzzle and solved the mystery. He retells this fantastic story here, in this inspiring, compelling, personal, and wildly entertaining non-fiction autobiography.
