Artwork of meteorite hitting the ground
Meteorite. Illustration of a meteorite hitting the ground in a remote area. Meteorites are fragments of interplanetary debris that fall to the Earths surface. They are much smaller than asteroids or comets but larger than meteors, which burn up in the atmosphere. About 500 meteorites hit the Earth each year, most of which fall unseen in oceans, deserts or other uninhabited areas. They consist of a type of rock unlike anything found in Earths crust, and are usually rich in iron and coated with a glassy, black crust produced by heat on entry into the atmosphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary artwork depicting the dramatic moment of a meteorite colliding with the Earth's surface. Set in a remote area, this illustration vividly captures the sheer force and impact of these interplanetary fragments as they descend from outer space. Meteorites, smaller than asteroids or comets but larger than meteors that burn up in our atmosphere, are remnants of celestial debris that find their way to our planet each year. With approximately 500 meteorites hitting Earth annually, most go unnoticed as they land unseen in uninhabited regions such as oceans or deserts. These extraterrestrial rocks possess a unique composition not found within our own crust; typically rich in iron and adorned with a glossy black crust formed by the intense heat experienced during atmospheric entry. Against the backdrop of a mesmerizing starry sky, this awe-inspiring artwork invites contemplation about cosmic collisions and their significance within cosmology. It serves as a reminder of both the vastness and fragility of our universe. This remarkable piece is brought to you by Science Photo Library, offering an artistic portrayal that merges science and imagination seamlessly into one captivating image.
