Meteor Archive
A home for things that fell to earth.
A square rooftop observatory with mineral samples and a sky-facing instrument.
Resident Mete, the meteor archivist
Meteor Archive
Meteor Archive is a square rooftop observatory with a sky-facing instrument, shelves of mineral samples and a drawer for every find. Everything here was once very far away, and now it is looked after.
Mete is the archivist. Mete keeps the crystals in neat rows, the sealed bottles labeled in careful handwriting and the books close to hand. Drawer 42 holds one pebble with a frankly unbelievable travel history.
Use it for a page about your own collection, research or sky watching. It is a premium design: you can preview it here, and publishing it will need billing, which is not live yet.
