Meteorite Landings

Overview

The "Meteorite Landings Across the World" dashboard provides an in-depth analysis of meteorite falls, illustrating where they have landed over time and highlighting the most significant meteorites in terms of mass. Designed to present both historical trends and geographic distributions, this project offers valuable insights into meteorite phenomena worldwide. The dashboard's interactive visualizations cater to scientists, educators, and enthusiasts eager to explore the mysteries of these extraterrestrial objects.

Observations and Insights

1. Geographic Bias in Records: Regions with higher human populations or scientific activity (e.g., Europe and North America) tend to have more documented meteorite falls. Remote or sparsely populated areas may be underrepresented due to limited observation capabilities.
2. Increase in Recorded Falls Over Time: Advances in technology and global networks for tracking meteorites have significantly improved documentation rates. The sharp rise in recorded falls after the 1800s reflects this trend.
3. Significance of the Hoba Meteorite: Many meteorite falls remain unrecorded due to natural erosion, lack of access to remote locations, or historical limitations in observation methods.
