Larger meteorites cause bright flashes of light when they hit Earth's atmosphere, such as this fireball captured during the Perseid shower on August 12, 2006. However, the bulk of meteoric activity is much less spectacular - about 10-40 tons of meteor dust enters the atmosphere ours every day. Photo: Pierre Martin
