Meteorite Landings
The visualization maps meteorite landings across the globe, encoding each fall's mass (g) through mark size and layering class type and chronological order over geographic position. It uses D3's `geoPath` for the base map and applies a sequential color scale to distinguish meteorite classifications, while a time-based slider filters year ranges. The dataset from NASA's Meteoritical Society is loaded via ESM imports, with numeric parsing of mass and coordinates handled in the data preprocessing phase.
