Chelyabinsk meteorite nano individuals - 8 g

The meteor, approaching Earth at 18 kilometers per second on February 15, 2013, about 20 meters in size, was strongly decelerated by the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released caused a massive explosion whose shock wave damaged 3,700 buildings. The meteor was torn apart, so a meteor shower rained down in thousands of pieces, often meteorites weighing only a few grams, but also pieces weighing several kilograms were recovered. The meteorite fall of Chelyabink will, due to its intensity and its good video documentation, be found in every future literary meteorite work. Also, for the first time, recordings of a sound event of a superbolide were made. Chelyabink shows very different textures; the asteroid was not homogeneous. Besides bright unshocked rock, some pieces show fine nets of shock veins, others consist entirely of dark melts and melt breccias that formed in earlier asteroid collisions.
