A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on November 30, 2004.

How can we classify the wankers with Soil Mechanics(like as USCS)?

I want to know about that subject. And, I want to sort them in usable order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.252.176.86 (talk) 07:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probability of meteorite strike on Earth surface

The article says that the probability is the same over the surface of the Earth. Since an object in space will be attracted by the Sun's gravity, it seems that the probability of an Earth-surface strike would be higher near the equator.Jarhed (talk) 14:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quantitative estimates of number and mass/size distribution?

It would be very nice to have some quantitative estimates here about the rates of meteor falls as a function of mass and size. The current text says ~500 meteorites per year, but no reference is given, and there is no information about the size distribution. I think there must be estimates in the professional literature, probably common knowledge to experts working in the field. Wwheaton (talk) 03:29, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Meteorite finds in China

There are several articles online about a recent find in western China; e.g. http://www.space.com/12416-giant-meteorite-china-discovery.html

Also, there are claims in China of an enormous and ancient meteorite near Shenyang, Liaoning, China, but these seem specious.
