The Russian-Finnish group of scientists has created a three-dimensional model of a large fragment of the meteorite Chelyabinsk. The basis of this model is based on five hundred pound fragment stored in the regional museum of Chelyabinsk. As experts believe, the 3D model will help make significant progress in solving the mystery of the space object.

As According to the publication REGNUM, researchers from Ekaterinburg and Finland held the painstaking work of scanning the largest fragment of the Chelyabinsk meteorite that was discovered after his fall. All the work was carried out on the basis of the Chelyabinsk Regional Museum, where at the moment and there is an exhibit. The outcome of the study was to create a three-dimensional virtual model 500 kg “handsome».

The study of one of the biggest pieces of the meteorite, carried out within the framework of the III International conference “Meteorites, asteroids, comets,” which takes place in Miass. The ability to learn like a cosmic body is so unique, especially young scientists and experts welcome any opportunity to find out more. The role of the detailed study of the meteorite, which is February 15, 2013 has done so much noise, it is difficult to overestimate. The problem of asteroid and comet hazard is now quite acute. And the three-dimensional model can help to study in more detail potential enemy of all mankind.

The popularity of the Chelyabinsk meteorite becomes less, even two years after the fall. And its fragments exhibit even at exhibitions in art galleries, and protect on a par with the recognized masterpieces of art.
