It’s interesting how the USA seems to be getting hit disproportionately often. My theory is that “Trump is universally hated” isn’t just a saying, but factual truth.
Weird correlation where aliens in movies land – USA, Europe, Australia or South Africa.
This really shows how hard it is to find impact craters in the jungle and ocean, and how relatively wealthy a country has to be to pay for scientists to search for craters.
Makes me think of the ‘survivor bias’ plane diagram, even though this data is a different flavor of data bias. [https://www.deanyeong.com/article/survivorship-bias](https://www.deanyeong.com/article/survivorship-bias)
This is just a population density map of people likely to report things in a way that NASA has access to.
“Map of countries that maintain data about meteorite landings and share it with the USA”
Isn’t this going to be a population map basically
I wonder how the one near 0,0 was detected/identified
This is awesome! I love figures like this
It’s like the planets are playing Battleship!
I’ve always been curious if there’s any time-of-day data on this? Because at sunrise you’re at the front of the Earth’s orbiting path and at sunset you’re at the back. And the windshield of a car gets more chips than the rear window.
Fascinating, this proves that meteors are attracted to Europe and the US.
findings not landings right?
Even the universe hates the USA it seems 😆
Fun fact, I found some tektite in the Wisconsin Dells Riverbed
Everything about it matches up as tektite
Now line it up with population density! I suspect correlation to be high there.

Crazy how they all avoid the ocean
That’s amazing! They only hit the land!
