Very interesting Jeff
Can You post detailed list lets say TOP100 with numbers of hits on each
meteorite ?
Why peoples search for Sikhotes ? NWA869 ? hmm. They dont see enough of them
on ebay, google photos, web pages, their own boxes ? This is like search for
potatos or coca-cola bottles.

Something happened in week 18 of 2013 (end of April), and thousands of
people looked at Sikhote-Alin. This was about 7 weeks after the fall of
Chelyabinsk. I don't know what it triggered this. But this spike,
combined with the normal background interest in S-A, put it in 1st place.
In point of fact, you may recall that my server got taken down by a crush
of hits on Fukang in October, when an article got posted on the Facebook
page "I f---ing love science". From the log, I could tell that I was
getting many thousands of (failed) hits per hour. If I could have handled
this, Fukang would have beaten both S-A and Chelyabinsk.

Great data Jeff. Thanks for compiling and reporting it to us. I'm
shocked that Chelyabinsk wasn't number one by orders of magnitude
The rest are no surprising.

All,
Here are the top 10 meteorite searches from the MetBull database in
2013, in decreasing order of popularity.
Sikhote-Alin (Iron, IIAB)
Chelyabinsk (LL5)
Northwest Africa 7325 (Achondrite-ung)
Hoba (Iron, IVB)
Fukang (Pallasite, PMG)
Northwest Africa 7034 (Martian (basaltic breccia))
Tissint (Martian (shergottite))
Northwest Africa 869 (L3-6)
Campo del Cielo (Iron, IAB-MG)
Allende (CV3)
Sikhote-Alin, Fukang, NWA 869, Campo, and Allende have been perennial
favorites since I first compiled the list in 2007.
Happy new year!
Jeff
