Partnerships Making a Difference: B612
For many years the B612 Foundation has been bringing colleagues, scientists and supporters to the crater for a first-hand look at what even a small asteroid can do to the earth.
Asteroid Day Events in Rochechouart France
Hosted by the Center for International Research and Restitution on Impacts and on Rochechouart (CIRRIR), Rochechouart France is celebrating with a series of public events, competitions and presentations!

Map of Arizona Meteorites
Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona is not the only known meteorite location in Arizona.
Its a Hit! Meteorite Strikes Lunar Surface
A meteorite strike on the lunar surface was captured on video by Daichi Fujii, curator of the Hiratsuka City Museum!
XSPACE Seeks Scientist Collaborators
Not to be confused with SPACE X, the eXtraterrestrial SamPle Analysis, Curation and Exploration (XSPACE) is a new facility dedicated to “curate the meteorites and make them available to the scientific community.”
In Memory of Carleton B. Moore
Amongst his many contributions to the field, Professor Moore with his team, first identified organic molecules in meteorites, as well as set up the first Meteorite Museum at ASU.
What is a Fireball?
Check out the website Impact Earth to learn all about impacts and near hits!
Imagine what it was like at the time of Impact:
Barringer Meteor Crater is beautifully preserved in the high Arizona desert landscape, but when it was formed the scenery was quite different!
We CAN Deflect an Asteriod!
“For the first time ever, humanity has changed the orbit of a planetary object”
Potential “New” Meteorite Crater for the Database
Recent research using magnetic anomalies and shocked rock is again presenting evidence that this is indeed a crater formed by a meteorite. And won’t the winery be relieved when its name (Domaine du Météore) is justified and the crater makes it onto the confirmed list!

Field Training and Research at Barringer Meteor Crater
The Center for Lunar Science and Exploration has created a field training and research program under the direction of David Kring, scientific advisor to Barringer Crater.
A Shared Memory of Gene Shoemaker and The Crater…
The Crater, and the incredible scientists studying it, create powerful impressions for so many over the years!
