A1 Madiedo Gil, José María
AB The Virtual Museum for Meteorites(Figure 1) was created in 2011 as a web tool for students,educators and researchers [1, 2]. One of theaims of this online resource is to promote the interestin meteorites. Thus, the role of meteorites in educationand outreach is fundamental, as these are very valuabletools to promote the public's interest in Astronomy andPlanetary Sciences. Meteorite exhibitions reveal thefascination of students, educators and even researchersfor these extraterrestrial rocks and how these can explainmany key questions related to the origin and evolutionof our Solar System.This virtual museum takes advantage of HTMLand related technologies to overcome local boundariesand offer its contents for a global audience. However,as new devices and platforms are available, it is morechallenging to create web contents that can reach thewidest audience possible. In particular, the recent limitationsimposed by some devices and web browsers toprevious multimedia formats (such as SWF files) haveresulted in a deep modification of the technology employedby the Virtual Museum for Meteorites. A descriptionof the recent developments performed in theframework of this virtual museum is given in thiswork.
