A meteorite fall, also called an observed fall, is a meteorite collected after its fall from outer space was observed by people or automated devices. Any other meteorite is called a "find". [1] [2] There are more than 1,300 documented falls listed in widely used databases, [3] [4] [5] most of which have specimens in modern collections.

A "meteorite fall", also called an "observed fall", is a meteorite collected after its arrival was observed by people or automated devices. Any other meteorite is called a "meteorite find". [43] [44] There are more than 1,100 documented falls listed in widely used databases, [45] [46] [47] most of which have specimens in modern collections.
Meteorite fall statistics are frequently used by planetary scientists to approximate the true flux of meteorites on Earth. Meteorite falls are those meteorites that are collected soon after being witnessed to fall, whereas meteorite finds are discovered at a later time. Although there are 30 times as much finds than falls, their raw ...

The Winchcombe meteorite is a rare find, with a similar hydrogen isotope ratio to the water on Earth.. Recovering a meteorite within 12 hours of arrival means it is as pristine a specimen as we ...
The 6.1 second fall of the Murrili meteorite was recorded by five Desert Fireball Network cameras. [3] The rock entered the Earth's atmosphere at 13.82 km/s, and slowed to a speed of 3.83 km/s over 72 km, at an altitude of 18.34 km. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The fall in dark flight was modeled using the WRF climate model to determine the final fall location ...
The Mahadeva Meteorite is an ordinary chondrite. It contains "relict chondrules, small spherical, melt-textured objects which were formed during the early solar nebula". The size of the chondrules range from "a few hundred microns to more than two millimeters across". The meteorite is categorized as petrographic type 5/6. According to the study ...
