Crystal Morphology of Antarctic Micrometeorites Based on Melting–Cooling Processes During Atmospheric Entry

Micrometeorites (MMs), which are cosmic dust grains ranging from 10 microns to 2 mm in size, can reach the Earth’s surface through collisions with asteroids or by fragmentation of comets in space. When MMs enter the atmosphere, they are heated to varying degrees depending on their size, mass, speed,...
