    Earth gets slammed by a hundred tons of meteors per day. Most, harmlessly vaporizing in the atmosphere as "shooting stars”.

        @neiltyson isn't it astounding that after billions of years, there is still loose debris in the universe? You'd think it'd be settled down

        @kreat30D @neiltyson I just thought all debris would hit or connect with something somewhere after a few billion years.

        @neiltyson if there's meteors and other space dust coming to Earth then are we steadily accumulating mass?
