Open Space Visualization Software is an open source project, funded in part by NASA, to bring space exploration research to the general public.

DART: Double Asteroid Redirection Test, one of NASA’s planetary defense missions, is aiming for the binary, near-Earth asteroid pair Didymos which orbits Dimorphous.

The top ten list of amazing meteorite craters to visit around the world starts with Barringer Meteorite Crater in Arizona USA

New Research on Diamonds formed by the Diablo Canyon Meteorites found around Barringer Meteorite Crater

The NASA James Web Space telescope suffered an unavoidable micrometeoroid strike to one of the primary mirror segments, but this was to be expected and was prepared for!

Studied since its discovery in the Sahara Desert, NWA (for “North West Africa”) 7034 has been studied, and more recently the crater on Mars from which this meteorite was ejected has been determined!

It’s quite dramatic, the views from the many walkways!

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.
