Chebarkul meteorite fragments research C015 / 2856
Chebarkul meteorite fragments research. Fragments of the Chebarkul meteorite being examined in a laboratory at the nanomaterials and nanotechnologies centre at the Ural Federal University. The meteoroid and meteor (Chelyabinsk Event) that produced these meteorite fragments occurred at around 09:20 local time (03:20 UTC) on 15 February 2013 over Russias Chelyabinsk region. The meteoroid weighed several thousand tons, reaching an altitude of around 20 kilometres before exploding in an airblast. Most fragments found so far are less than a few centimetres across.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the meticulous research being conducted on fragments of the Chebarkul meteorite at the nanomaterials and nanotechnologies centre in Ural Federal University. The meteoroid responsible for these fragments, known as the Chelyabinsk Event, occurred on February 15,2013, over Russia's Chelyabinsk region. Weighing several thousand tons, it reached an altitude of approximately 20 kilometers before exploding in a powerful airblast. In this image taken on February 25th of that same year, we see a dedicated scientist examining one of these precious meteorite pieces in a laboratory setting. The researcher's focus is evident as they carefully analyze the intricate details of this cosmic specimen. Surrounding them are other scientists and researchers engrossed in their own investigations. The significance of these findings cannot be overstated; most fragments discovered thus far measure only a few centimeters across. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the world of space science and highlights the crucial role played by experts from various backgrounds to unravel nature's mysteries. The diversity among those involved is striking – an Asian man working alongside European colleagues within Russia's scientific community showcases international collaboration at its finest. Together, they contribute to our understanding of Earth sciences and physical geography while studying natural hazards like meteoroids. Photographer Pavel Lysizin has skillfully captured this momentous occasion through his lens for Science Photo Library, immortalizing both the dedication and excitement present within this cutting-edge laboratory environment.
