Impact Effects Simulator — explore an accurate, scaled 3D visualization of the inner Solar System and near-Earth objects (NEOs). Use the "Approaches" list to inspect upcoming close approaches, the Filters panel to narrow results by date, size or miss distance, and click any asteroid to open detailed orbital and impact information. NEO data is loaded from the local dataset for demonstration — this visualization is for exploration and education, not real-time hazard alerts.

Our Mission

Meteor Madness is an interactive web-based platform designed to help users understand and prepare for potential asteroid threats. By combining NASA and USGS data with engaging visualizations and physics-based simulations, we make complex astronomical concepts accessible to everyone — scientists, policymakers, educators, and the public.

How this can help humanity

This platform can be used not only for education but also for practical preparedness and emergency planning. With geospatial tools and navigation data we can create shelter maps and safe zones, run impact simulations for specific regions (infrastructure damage, flood-prone areas, debris reach), and prioritize evacuations and emergency resources. In the future the system can be integrated with external sources and platforms (early warning systems, critical infrastructure databases, road networks), enabling faster, coordinated responses during real emergency situations.
