Web Sites Devoted To Meteoritics Bill Arnett at the University of Arizona offers a number of web pages about meteoritics and small bodies in the solar system. Small Bodies introduces the subject and talks about the differences among comets, asteroids, and meteorites. Asteroids talks about asteroids in general. Comets talks about comets in general. Comet Halley talks about one of the most famous periodic comets in history.
Meteorites introduces basic meteorite facts.
SL9 discusses the recent breakup and impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 onto Jupiter. Each of Arnett's pages provides links to other sites with information about small bodies. The web page of the Meteorite and Impacts Advisory Committee to the Canadian Space Agency contains information about meteorites and impact structures in French and English. My astronomy page provides more links to sites with information on meteoritics. Back to catastrophism .
