Oh, how?

You can find flecks of space on your roof or on your deck using a pretty powerful magnet.

You know, that actually reminds me of a Simpsons episode that shows the journey of one of these space rocks landing on Earth.

In this episode, Bart detects a comet that starts hurling towards Springfield.

It's traveling towards the Earth.

Cool.

We're safe!

At the end there, Bart actually picks up the meteorite.

Okay, you can't actually do that in real life, though, right?

I mean, I thought that as a kid, but Melissa says it's totally possible.

Hmm.

I mean, gathering more data is a bit precarious.

I mean, wasn't there the story about a woman in British Columbia who had a meteorite fall through her house?

Yeah, that was a bit terrifying, but she's OK.

It landed on her pillow.

And Melissa actually made me a little less anxious with some more news.

Researchers might have found evidence of a death in a rock, like back in the 1800s, and Melissa says there has been a few close calls, and it has been confirmed a farmer saw one hit and killed a dog.

Okay.

Yeah, you just snuck that in there.

That's a sad detail.
