Our Trajectory

MeteoriteMixology is where space rocks intersect with science, history, and culture. When a meteorite falls to Earth, it does more than strike the ground. It subtly disturbs the fabric of human society, rippling through imagination, knowledge, and belief in ways both seen and unforeseen.

Our aim is to slow that moment down. To break the whole into its smallest pieces, to examine each fragment with care, and to help these extraterrestrial visitors find their place within our world, while helping us better understand ours through them.

This visual journey follows the quiet signals embedded in drawings of falling stones, tracing how different eras perceived these visitors from the sky and folded them into belief, science, and art. It revisits these images to stir perception and invite reflection on what once shaped the world, and what signals may still be rising today.

Romanian Meteorites

 

Why Romania?

Because many of its most significant meteorite falls occurred just as meteoritics was emerging as a rigorous scientific discipline. These events were not vague legends from the distant past; they were witnessed, documented, and investigated at a time when the field was gaining momentum and analytical methods were becoming more refined.

The setting adds another layer. Several falls took place in Transylvania, a region rich in folklore, where celestial fireballs were bound to stir more than scientific curiosity. Yet the response was remarkably modern: fragments were collected, analyzed, and sent to leading laboratories across Europe.

For us, this is where it gets interesting. Romania’s meteorites sit at the intersection of empirical science and cultural context, cosmic material arriving in a landscape steeped in myth, then traveling onward into the heart of global research. It is meteoritics, history, and culture with real substance.
