The International Meteor Organization, the nonprofit that coordinates and publishes amateur and professional observations of meteor phenomena, said its infrastructure has suffered a βcritical blowβ from a cyberattack.
βWe recently suffered a cyberattack that dealt a critical blow to aging infrastructure, taking much of our site offline," a static page on its website on Wednesday said. βWe expect several weeks of partial downtime as we transition to new infrastructure and services.β
βI am very sad to see the site downβ
In the meantime, the IMO said itβs prioritizing the reporting of fireball observations, which can be reported here. The organization is also providing some information on its Facebook page.

An analysis of 75 meteorite falls identified seven distinct processes that occur as space rocks melt, break apart, and slow down before reaching the ground. A space rock entering Earthβs atmosphere does far more than simply βburn up.β By examining 75 meteorite falls recorded in videos and photographs, researchers identified seven distinct stages that shape [...]
The Earth's atmosphere, though thin, protects against meteors and asteroids, causing most to burn up upon entry. Significant impacts, like the Vredefort and Chicxulub craters, demonstrate catastrophic events, which occurred during or just after the Genesis Flood, highlighting a biblical perspective on geological history.
