Description
A Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of a micrometeorite. The diameter of this meteorite is 900 um. This micrometeorite was ground in half and polished. Micrometeorites routinely fall all over the surface of earth. This is primarily an iron meteorite with small amounts of other elements. This meteorite melted from atmospheric melting as it was captured in the earth’s atmosphere. Magnetic iron micrometeorites are easy to find with the help of a strong magnet. The crystal structure of the meteorite is visible in this image.
