Earth Impact Database

The Earth Impact Database is an authoritative record that documents confirmed locations where extraterrestrial objects, like asteroids or comets, have struck the Earth's surface. Each entry provides details about the impact site, including its location, estimated age, and impact features, helping scientists understand the history and frequency of planetary impacts. This information is essential for studying Earth's geological history, assessing impact risks, and understanding how such events have influenced the evolution of life and the planet itself.
