Chelyabinsk meteorite nano individuals - 8 g

The meteor, about 20 meters in size, which was approaching Earth at 18 kilometers per second on February 15, 2013, was heavily decelerated by the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released caused a massive explosion whose shockwave damaged 3,700 buildings. The meteor was torn apart, so a meteor shower of thousands of pieces rained down, often weighing only a few grams, but pieces weighing several kilograms were also recovered. The Chelyabinsk meteorite fall will be found in every future literary meteorite work due to its ferocity and its well-documented video footage. There are also, for the first time, sound recordings of a superbolide. Chelyabinsk shows very diverse textures; the asteroid was not homogeneous. In addition to bright unshocked rock, some pieces show fine nets of shock veins, while others consist entirely of dark melts and melt breccias formed in earlier asteroid collisions.
