NASA Astronauts train for the Artemis mission to the moon at Barringer Meteorite Crater

2022 Conference of the Meteoritical Society, August 14-19

You can see the “butte” like raised edge of the crater along the horizon line from the road. Why would an meteoritic impact which creates a hole in the ground, also leave quite a raised rim?

Come visit the world’s most incredible meteorite impact site! We’re just 35 miles east of Flagstaff on I-40.

This year NASA was able to predict a non -hazardous arrival of a small asteroid, including where on earth it would reach our atmosphere, before disintegrating.

This may be the first “Secondary” impact site ever identified on earth- where a cluster craters have been caused by a massive primary impact 280 million years ago.

Last month there was an exciting fireball captured on video over Mississippi, and this month another bright one over England!

This Wikimedia Commons illustration shows a meteoroid entering the atmosphere, becoming visible as a meteor and hitting the Earth's surface as a meteorite.

Sam Stanford’s podcast takes us to Barringer Crater- to learn about the impact event that created the crater, and how and when it was eventually determined to be caused by a meteorite and not a volcanic eruption as previously thought.

The Lake Bosumtwi (also called Bosomtwe) is an impact crater in Ghana, a 10 km wide crater from only roughly 2 million years ago, is now a beautiful and scenic visit.

How and when it was created, what scientists think of it, and what you can see from the rim- all on this touristic video by the Arizona Family TV network.

The 4 kilometer sized asteroid which struck earth 2.51 million years ago is directly associated with the formation of northern hemisphere ice caps

Scientists are discovering new evidence from the exact day of the Chicxulub impact event 66 million years ago, which will be featured in a new BBC documentary presented by Sir David Attenborough

You too can visit this 370lb fragment of meteorite from the crater which made its way to Wesleyan University’s Van Vleck Observatory Library in 1897! I wonder how far flung are other fragments?

On May 15, 2022 there will be a total lunar eclipse! Don’t miss viewing it!

A dramatic recent discovery of one of Earth’s 25 largest Meteor Craters was made possible by NASA’s P3 scanning aircraft updated mapping

The Meteoroids 2022 Conference will be held virtually on June 13–17, 2022.
