Hi Matthias, and All, You asked: isn't presolar extrasolar too, in a certain sense? Not necessarily, at least not how I understand it. I've read some abstracts and papers that say, e.g., that not all presolar nano diamonds in Allende, and other carbonaceous chondrites are considered to be of

I'm reading Paul Davies' The Fifth Miracle. In chapter 6 it refers to the 1996 discovery by Taylor, Baggaley and Steel of inter-stellar dust particles entering the earth's atmosphere in the form of fast ( 70-km/s) meteors: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v380/n6572/abs/380323a0.html It

Hi Mark, The nano diamonds in Allende CAI's are considered to be samples of extra-solar origin; at least they show isotopic values that don't match with any of the other values measured for materials of our solar system (including meteorites). I believe there were studies of other (Antarctic)

Hi Mark and all, As Norbert pointed out, only small microscopic inclusions have been found that probably contain extra solar material. No specimen that we have ever found is uniquely from another solar system. There are a number of reasons for this. First any material would have to travel

Hi all, I have never been strong on the scientific side of meteoritics. However, would such material entering the earth's atmosphere at ultra super speeds POSSIBLY be responsible the Tunguska Event, where evidence was blown to smithereens? Best wishes, Michael on 5/3/08 6:02 AM,

There's a PDF of the full paper linked from the abstract. If the results are correct (it's 12 years old, I don't know if the findings have been challenged since) then we would seem to have a steady stream of interstellar particles from at least 2 discrete extra-solar sources. I wonder if
