The mission of AMS is to encourage and promote research activities of both amateur and professional astronomers who are directly interested in meteoric astronomy.

IMO's collection of meteor observations from all around the world ensures the comprehensive study of meteor showers and their relation to comets and interplanetary dust.

Our members include over 1000 scientists and enthusiasts from 52 countries who study meteorites, cosmic dust, asteroids, comets, samples returned by space missions, impact craters, and the origins of the Solar System.

Established in 1977, the US Antarctic Meteorite Program has recovered meteorites from many different geographic regions in the Transantarctic Mountains.

The Department of Mineral Sciences maintains a world-class research collection of rocks, minerals and meteorites. Specimens from the research collection are available for loan to researchers, in most cases free of charge.

The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) is designed to capture natural lightning activity, but it is also capable of detecting large meteors, called bolides. GLM's large coverage area allows it to capture unprecedented numbers of meteors and its data is publicly accessible.

This meteorite hunting website provides modeled strewn fields for potential meteorite falls. It was built by Jim Goodall, an engineer and astronomy enthusiast who wrote some software to simulate meteorite strewn fields. Strewnify provides global meteor fireball news and reports, free strewn field maps, and other great resources for meteorite hunters, including an automated meteor notification service, which pulls data from all the major online data sources.

BOLIDES is an attempt to visualize and explore the meteorites that have collided with the Earth. The visualization focuses mainly on meteorites that were eye-witnessed when falling and hitting the ground.

Besides containing 12,000 of the finest mineral specimens ever known, the collection included 580 meteorite specimens representing nearly 500 different falls and finds.

The Center for Meteorite Studies is home to over 40,000 individual specimens representing more than 2,000 distinct meteorite falls and finds, and our collection is actively used for geological, planetary, and space science research at ASU and throughout the world.

The Monnig Meteorite Collection and Gallery's focus is to facilitate education in, and advance the current-state of knowledge of, the origins and history of our Solar System through public outreach, research, and growth of the Collection.

The mission of our laboratory is to conduct meteorite research to help understand our place in the universe, and to share this knowledge with the wider community.

The world-class meteorite collection at the Field Museum currently includes 1,593 different meteorites and 12,251 specimens.

Have you ever wondered if that "interesting rock" is a meteorite? Here are some clues that are used to help distinguish real meteorites from terrestrial and manmade materials.
