The the mystery of the meteorite Chelyabinsk help his 3D model
in Chelyabinsk created a 3D model of a large fragment of the meteorite, which fell in February 15, 2013 near Chelyabinsk and was named Chelyabinsk meteorite. The weight of this piece of the meteorite more than 500 kg. Scientists from Ekaterinburg and Finland spent scanning the biggest piece of the meteorite, which is stored in the Chelyabinsk regional museum.
The museum staff said: “Scientists continue to study the meteorite” Chelyabinsk “… in many laboratories around the world to date has conducted multidisciplinary studies of the individual fragments. On Wednesday, May 20, the specialists again came to Chelyabinsk to conduct 3D-scanning of the largest fragment of a celestial body weighing 505 kg ».
The meteorite called” Chelyabinsk “because fell near the town of February 15, 2013 year. The meteorite was formed shock wave of enormous power that damaged the building and knocked out glass in them, 1,600 people injured. Scientists have analyzed the pieces of fallen meteorite and found that this is an ordinary chondrite type LL5, type of stony meteorite.
A piece of meteorite that was scanned initially weighed about 600 kg, but he fell into the lake and consequently his weight increased, after the water began to slowly evaporate the weight began to decline as well.
isledovanie meteorite was part of a conference held in Miass “meteorites, asteroids, comets,” which is organized for young scientists were able to discuss the results of the studies of the meteorite, the impact of his fall to the biosphere of our planet, the problems of asteroid and comet hazard.
Scientists are actively studying various fragments of the meteorite. Scans of this huge piece of meteorite using a special device – 3D-Scanner. Scanning was performed using laser beams, thanks to this it is possible to create a computer model. According to scientists through the establishment of a model will be able to specify the density of the object. Research conducted by two scientists of the Ural Federal University named after the first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin (Yekaterinburg) – a member of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and graduate student Nikolay Kruglikov UrFU Grigory Yakovlev and physicist Thomas Kohaut from the University of Helsinki (Finland).
