There is relatively little research modeling asteroid ejecta dispersing throughout the galaxy. I'm really surprised this isn't researched more.

It's pretty hard to spot them, that's the main reason why. It's a known sore spot that's been talked about the past couple decades.

Bigger objects are just plain easier to see.

I think a good example is that cigar shaped rock with the Hawaiian name. Ommommuwhatever. No one has a clue where it came from or where it went. That's basically our ability to track smaller objects in a nutshell.
