I just watched Werner Herzog's latest documentary (with vulcanologist Clive Oppenheimer) <i>Fireball: Visitors from Darker Worlds</i>[0] (2020) about asteroids, meteorites, comets etc and their impact on the Earth and human cultures past, present and possible future. Most of it consist of interviews with experts in the subject from around the world, showing them at work, e.g. with the Hawaiians that look out for asteroids on a collision path with Earth, and found ʻOumuamua. They go to the site of the Yucatan meteorite that killed the dinosaurs, go hunting meteorites in Antarctica etc. Maybe the most amazing bit was a sequence of photographs of micro-meteorites found in Norway. I thought it was great, highly recommended!<p>New to Herzog? Most of the user reviews on IMDb are complaining it's not the usual impersonal science program they'd evidently expected, so please don't make that mistake. There are a few segments about meteorites in myths/religions. Herzog's documentaries all kind of feel like anthropology, no matter the topic. He's fascinated in people, and celebrates us in all our weirdness. e.g. His 2016 documentary about the internet, <i>Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World</i>[1], was one of the best things on the subject I'd seen.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9203832" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9203832</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5275828" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5275828</a>
