      Here [1] is a great video about Larsen and his work on collecting microscopic meteroites.

      Larsen's book, "In Search of Stardust: Amazing Micrometeorites and Their Terrestrial Imposters" [2] is also great, a gorgeous coffee table book with lots of high-quality photos of meteorites of the kind that you see on the web site.

      This reminds me of a book on my to-read: In Search of Stardust by Jon Larsen.

      From what I remember it's actually not that hard to find, but maybe I should read it first. Anyone that has can elaborate?
