The Quest for Stardust: Crash Course Lecture
Is it possible to find cosmic dust on Earth? That’s the question jazz-musician-turned-citizen-scientist Jon Larsen set out to answer. Over the course of a decade and in defiance of the experts, Jon collected dust from around the world using a magnet in search of micrometeorites. Would his efforts be successful, or would his search be in vain? And how do these tiny wonders clue us into the mystery of how life exists on Earth?What’s a Crash Course Lecture?
While traditional Crash Courses on our channel break open an entire school subject, a Crash Course lecture tackles a single topic in-depth. Each lecture shares the perspective of a scholar, journalist, or thinker. This longer-form video pairs great with our full series on Geology
