Meteorite Landings — An Interactive Atlas of Stones from Space

Data from The Meteoritical Society (Meteoritical Bulletin Database) — the canonical record of every meteorite known to have landed on Earth, with its mass, classification, recovery year, and coordinates. The ~115 specimens plotted here are a curated sample spanning the 60-ton Hoba iron, witnessed falls like Allende and Chelyabinsk, and tiny fragments of Mars and the Moon recovered from Antarctic ice. Explore how iron giants concentrate in deserts, how witnessed falls cluster in populated Europe, and why Antarctica became a meteorite treasure trove — dark stones on pale ice, found by the thousands.
