How far is outer space?
About the project
This interactive data visualization explores our relationship with outer space by displaying more than 44k meteorites that have fallen on Earth. These fall on the screen in an endless shower, where users can grab them with their mice and see their basic information: name, mass, year and location of impact. As they explore thousands of these rocks that connect us to outer space, they may be reminded that we are only a small speck in an infinite universe.
All meteorite data was sourced from the Meteoritical Society's database.
