- Is it possible that large amounts of debree may filter threw out solar system
- and impact the earth with out us knowing from whence it came. Sort of like
- stealth space debree. It is certinly possible that we can miss large amounts
- of material coming at us. However, in the case of most matter we have a good
- idea where it originates. Like debree falling from the region around the
- orion constilation during a certin time of the year. Is it possible that the
- matter that struk Tunguska came from an unknown area that we dont normally
- think of when thinking of falling matter.
-
- If that is the case is there an area of the soloar system or beyond that is
- producing large amounts of space junk that Earth Runs into every so often?
-
- Sorry i don't know much about astronomy. Just want to know more and more
- about it.
