Each year, thousands of space rocks pierce through the Earth's atmosphere and hit the ground as meteorites. These fragments of comets and asteroids can land anywhere but are most often spotted in open terrain, such as the deserts of Africa and the Antarctic blue ice, where a meteorite's blackened exterior can stand out.
