Meteorite Landings Explorer
An interactive visualization of global meteorite landings using NASA open data. Features decade-based animation, class coloring, and mass scaling.

- Reported meteorite landings increase sharply after the mid-20th century, reflecting improved detection and documentation rather than a true increase in events.
- Ordinary chondrites (particularly L6) dominate modern records due to survivorship bias and advances in classification methods.
- Grouping events by decade reveals global observation patterns more clearly than year-by-year animation.
