Check out this quote from a space.com article by Robert Roy Britt. <br /> <br /> Rocky planets like Earth are thought to form when dust motes around a nascent star gather to form rocks. Rocks collide, and some stick and grow. <br /> <br /> "The dust bunnies under your bed grow in a similar way," said Scott Kenyon, a planet-formation theorist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "And after a million years, a dust bunny can get pretty big." <br /> <br /> So if the dust particles beneath your bed have collided, stuck together and started to grow, don't worry about it. You're not a bad housekeeper. You're conducting a scientific experiment. Just a suggestion: Don't wait a million years before you clean. Asteroids tend to clog the vacuum hose. <br /> Tue, 26 Oct 2004 12:36:00 -0700 http://stardustwarehouse.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1-guid.html
