Hi Anne, Rich, all,
Anne, but there IS a nice red spot in the middle of Ensisheim city!
Just enlarge the map by rolloing the mouse! (like on "Google Map").
And you bet, I did so, regarding Ensisheim meteorite.
And to my surprise, the spot (at high "magnification") is neither
situated in the Regency palace (logical) but nor along the road where
there is a well known plaque (about 2 km South from "downtown" Ensi).
No, it is located exactly a few hundred meters West from our famous
"Le Boeuf Rouge" restaurant, not at all far from the new (provisional
for 2013) show location. In a small park, near the river shore.
Intriguing....
I definitely must go there again for a rapid "screening"....hey, one
never knows if, among all these fragments reported to have been broken
by paesants after the fall, some could have survived...?
I keep you informed.
Otherwise, you know what to do after your 2 full days at the show...
Best wishes,
Zelimir

Anne,
Not sure what the problem is. I just cut and pasted the description
from the Guardian web page so that people can decide if they want to
follow the link or not.
Am sure they'd appreciate your feedback.

A couple problems.
I suppose you mean the Meteoritical Society, not the Meteorological Society,
since we are talking about meteorites not weather.
Also, there should be a red dot in Alsace, eastern France, where the
Ensisheim meteorite fell in 1492.
Besides that, this map is a great idea.

"Every meteorite fall on earth mapped
Or at least those we know about. And where are the known meteorite
landing places on earth? These impact zones show where scientists have
found meteorites, or the impact craters of meteorites, some dating
back as far as the year 2,300BC. The data is from the US
Meteorological Society and doesn't show those places where meteorites
may have fallen but not been discovered"
