Meteoroids can be observed at collision with the Earth's atmosphere as meteors. Different
methods of observing meteors are presented: besides the traditional counts of individual …

The topics of lofted dust, ejected atomic and molecular species, and plasma interactions at
the Moon have made revolutionary strides since the last 'New Views of the Moon'review in …

The zodiacal cloud is a thick circumsolar disk of small debris particles produced by asteroid
collisions and comets. Their relative contribution and how particles of different sizes …

Modern fast digitization techniques and computer methods have been combined with both
new and old theoretical approaches to permit construction of a new class of meteor radar …

The solar system is dusty, and would become dustier over time as asteroids collide and
comets disintegrate, except that small debris particles in interplanetary space do not last …

Interplanetary dust particles and meteoroids mostly originate from comets and asteroids.
Understanding their distribution in the Solar system, their dynamical behavior and their …

A 7year survey using the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR), a specular backscattering
orbital radar, has produced three million individually measured meteoroid orbits for particles …

Using a meteor orbit radar, a total of more than 2.5 million meteoroids with masses∼ 10− 7
kg have had orbits measured in the interval 2002–2006. From these data, a total of 45 …

The Earth is cradled in an atmosphere that burns up small impactors before they reach the
surface, and a magnetosphere that largely shields the surface from solar and cosmic particle …

Recent advances in interplanetary dust modelling provide much improved estimates of the
fluxes of cosmic dust particles into planetary (and lunar) atmospheres throughout the solar …
