It really makes you wonder how many undetectable space rocks are milling about the universe, to scattered even for gaseous appearing formations like planetary rings. On a small scale, they're inconsequential and their effects imperceptible, but on a larger scale, they could be a force of nature. Kind of like large geological phenomena on earth formed by moisture and dust.

An unimaginable number of them, but space is so huge the probability of being hit hy one is near 0, but not 0.

The Chelyabinsk meteor was 20m wide and we didn't detect that before it struck.

Considering phenomena like shooting stars and gegenschein, there are a lot. Especially inside the Solar System (probably a lower concentration in interstellar space).
