A huge amount of extraterrestrial matter enters the Earth's atmosphere every year and eventually settles on the ground. This book integrates astronomical observations and theories with geophysical studies, presenting a comprehensive overview of the matter that falls to Earth from space. Meteoroids are the main topic of the book, although cosmic dust, interplanetary matter and meteorites are also discussed. This work will be of great value to researchers involved in the study of meteor phenomena.
