The Journey of Meteorites: Fallen and Found by Katya Salostey

The infographic dives into the stories of meteorites — from those observed falling to Earth to those discovered long after their descent. By combining data and visual storytelling, the project highlights the connections between our planet and these cosmic travelers.

Key Features
1. Two Perspectives.
- Fallen Meteorites: A focus on meteorites observed during their fall, showcasing their documented locations, types, and masses.
- Found Meteorites: A broader look at meteorites discovered without direct observation of their fall, emphasizing their geographical spread.

2. Types of Meteorites. A breakdown of the primary categories: chondrites, achondrites, iron meteorites, stony-iron, and others.

3. Timeline Analysis. Meteorites through time, grouped by type and weight, reveal patterns in discoveries and correlations with historical advancements in observation and documentation.

4. Largest Meteorites. A highlight of record-breaking finds, both fallen and found, across the globe.

Purpose and Design: This project presents a dual exploration of meteorites, blending data-driven insights with visuals. The combination of "Fallen" and "Found" perspectives paints a picture of how humanity has witnessed, documented, and uncovered meteorites over time.
