About the Project

The visualization shows the usual classification of meteorites, which is based on the origin of the meteorites parent body.
A distinction is made between differentiated and undifferentiated meteorites.These two groups are separated into further subgroups. At the same time the visualization demonstrates, how many meteors have been observed while they were falling down and how many were found as objects.

Names and other dates of single meteors are taken from the The Meteoritical Society database.
