Just read some interesting statistics on micro-meteroid impacts on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST):
In February 1997, a total of 788 impact scars to the detectable limits of 0.5 centimeters were found on HST's external surface. Compared to the December 1993 servicing mission, an apparent increase of 20 impacts per square meter was noted! |
