  • If you ever hear a report from a person who claims a meteorite fell to the ground, and he touched it and burnt his finger on the rock, you will know the testimony is a fib, because freshly fallen meteorites are cold. In fact, meteorites often become frosty due to contact with the moisture in the air.

  • I thought this was very scientific and pretty, I love it when science and poetry combine: You have tiny meteorites in your hair. We all do. They are micrometeorites and they are therefore only visible through a microscope, but these tiny particles rain down upon earth continuously. They are buried in all the dust and dandruff and pollen and smog in your hair though, so you can't detect them without advanced laboratory equipment, but nevertheless, they are there. I feel cosmic just touching my hair now, I almost expect it to start glittering and glowing, and growing its own galaxy.
I like it! 1 C!
