METEOR

A meteorite fell for your wallet.

Every Solana address draws one of the 45,716 real meteorites in NASA’s record. Paste one and watch it come down where it landed.

What it does

Your address picks one row of NASA’s Meteorite Landings record, the Meteoritical Society’s catalogue of every known meteorite up to 2013. The row is your meteorite: its name, its class, its mass, the year it fell or was found, and where.

Runs here: the hash and the pick, in your browser and on our server.Public data: the NASA record and Natural Earth, pinned and checked by SHA-256.At launch: your first buy mixes into the pick, cards mint.

Fair draw. SHA-256 of your address, first 8 bytes, scaled to 45,716 rows. Every meteorite is equally likely, from a 0.01 g crumb to Hoba. Anyone can check any address: the index is public, and so is the arithmetic.

Honest places. 70 % of draws have recorded coordinates. The rest were found in places the record only names, mostly on the ice of Antarctica; for those the fall stops at the area the name gives, and the page says the spot isn’t recorded.

Rarity, measured

Most meteorites are ordinary chondrites: stone older than Earth. Irons are rare. Pallasites, olive crystals in metal, rarer. Legendary means from another world: Mars, the Moon, or the asteroid Vesta.

    Seen falling, and by mass

      The holder sky

      Every saved meteorite lights its real impact point. Holders claim meteorites one wallet at a time, until all 45,716 are claimed.

      Your specimen card

      Yours: the style and the line you write. The record’s: the name, the class, the mass, the year and the place. The stone is drawn in pixels from its class and mass, not photographed.
