... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

... Micrometeorite bombardment accounts for almost 30,000 tons of material entering Earth's atmosphere each year. ... Micrometeorites that have either partially or completely melted when plunging through Earth's atmosphere are called cosmic spherules . Just as the Antarctic blue ice serves as an ideal collector of meteorites, it also preserves micrometeorites and cosmic spherules that land on the surface and are subsequently incorporated into ice layers. ...
