Very interesting. At the phys.org site I noticed an article about Project Stardust finding cosmic dust in gutters of buildings. The search was initiated by Jon Larsen who by the way, is a fantastic hot guitar player. Apparently it is everywhere, if you're willing to look for it. Here is video Jon made of micrometeorites.
