It's World Space Week, and we've learned that we could have micrometeorites on our roof right now. We have to agree with this student, that is awesome! #WorldSpaceWeek @stemlearning.bsky.social

Most of the moon suffers constant bombardment from micrometeorites. You're not going to have giant fields of solar panels. Not that a reactor is that much more viable at this time. All of this is silly.

Shocking: NASA to Explore Lunar Lava Tubes, Moving Forward with Human Underground Relocation Plans - AIテクノロジーまとめ
NASA has selected three new science payloads for the Moon, including GIMLI, which will investigate the skylight area in the Marius Hills discovered by Japan's Kaguya orbiter. The mission uses ground-penetrating radar, seismic exploration, gravimeters, and cameras to analyze subsurface structures and search for lava tubes. Underground cavities are expected to serve as habitats protecting future astronauts from extreme temperatures, radiation, and micrometeorites, supporting sustainable lunar activities.

Fun to explore while providing protection from radiation, micrometeorites and temperature swings. Plus, they might contain ices, too. Scientifically interesting ones even, as they would be undisturbed by impacts. How do up to 4.5 billion year old ice cores sound? 😉

This week’s #MicrometeoriteMonday: A polished scoriaceous micrometeorite from the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica! Unlike fully melted cosmic spherules, scoriaceous micrometeorites are only partially melted and tend to contain abundant vesicles formed by devolatilization. ☄️

Indeed! It also fits with the high abundance of CI/CM/C-ung material among micrometeorites - the deceleration at greater heights and thus lower ram pressures allow for more fragile material to survive.

917-Space Dust
As the Earth orbits the Sun at 18.5 mi/s it sweeps up about 100 tons of micrometeorites and space dust every day of which some 14 tons eventually makes it to the ground. You can even find some of these particles of space dust by using a magnet on material in the rain gutters attached to your roof.

every trans woman should get a power word x manifestation spell as a cantrip so we actually could just go "hammers" or "micrometeorites that shred your ankles only" or "jail" and then the bigot or creep would no longer be a problem

You don't need 3 inches of iron to have something that will stop the remnants of a frangible bullet from penetrating the hull totally, as you would also want some protection against micrometeorites and minor weapons impacts (e.g. fragments of intercepted missiles) from outside.

Here in Minnesota, there is a group that goes around collecting dust off of roofs and sieving out the micrometeorites.

The bigger the solar panels (and they’ll need to be HUGE) the more exposed to damage from micrometeorites and debris. Also, more material means more payload, which means more expense on the whole project.

Big question I jave about von Neuman probes is that even if they dodged micrometeorites and functioned okay after bathing in radiation for centuries if not millennia
What if they develop clanker cancer and your "just to see if we can lmao" suddenly decides to self-replicate its original creators?

I saw a very small exhibition in Nördlingen once, these micrometeorites can be astonishingly beautiful. To me all that was new and I was really impressed. They had a microscope with samples but also photos that showed these tiny objects magnified by a lot. The exhibition was this one:

It's not just human-made stuff, though. The Moon is struck by meteorites, micrometeorites, interplanetary dust and high energy particles, like cosmic rays, all the time. They pulverise, charge, and turn the Moon's surface over in a process called impact gardening. 🧪 🔭
