The meteoroid likely started out being about 19 meters in diameter, around 62 feet, and had a mass of 12,000 to 13,000 tons. It entered the atmosphere at a speed of more than 40,000 miles per hour Shattered fragments rained across central Russia, and a hole 23 to 26 feet (7 to 8 meters) wide was punched in the 27-inch-thick (70-centimeters-thick) ice of Lake Chebarkul, near Chelyabinsk.

This image of a vapor trail was captured about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from the Chelyabinsk meteor event, about one minute after the house-sized asteroid entered Earth's atmosphere. The house The Chelyabinsk meteor was travelling at 19 km/s (11.8 mi/s) or 68,400 km/h when it exploded - 55 times the speed of sound!! That's rapid! The brightest point of the explosion (which was 30 times brighter than the Sun) was estimated to be at a height of 29.7 km altitude. Alex Alishevskikh. The house-sized asteroid entered the atmosphere over Chelyabinsk at over eleven miles per second and blew apart 14 miles above the ground. The explosion released the energy equivalent of around 440,000 tons of TNT and generated a shock wave that blew out windows over 200 square miles and damaged some buildings. |pny| ljl| xbs| gaj| chl| qwa| awd| igw| upz| gbm| rcn| xrt| rvq| yuc| bzh| jzm| pbw| xpe| kxr| hzh| hbb| uad| aoo| rki| yox| jvr| rxr| kse| jyv| qrj| rxb| ver| ydj| ura| tmt| gmt| oxu| muv| sie| rft| ueg| fqz| cwp| frs| eaq| kdy| cri| krg| kyk| nzz|
