stardust
Peter and Klaus hunt for
micrometeorites. These incredibly small, yet billion year
old messengers from space were long thought to be only found in the Antarctic, far from any urban spaces. However, it turned out they can be discovered right in
front our houses, on our roofs and streets. Together with
the Walter-Hohmann Observatory in Essen, Germany, the self-taught civilian astronomers
take a deep look back in cosmic time as they dig through the dust
of our cities.
It is a quest to unravel secrets of the beginning
of the universe here on earth.
