Last Friday I blogged about Near Earth Objects (NEOs), space debris which come dangerously close to the Earth. I mentioned how most objects are currently unknown. Lo and behold, that day south-central Russia experienced an air burst which wounded over a thousand people.
I began to wonder if there is any online database of other meteorite impacts, making a cartography of where Earth and Space literally met with violent results. The best two sites I can find are
Meteorite Size: Every Meteorite Fall on Earth Mapped
The Meteoritical Society's website which has a database of impacts. The database is viewable in Google Earth.
