Day in Space Science Space Research Institute summed up the results of all the events that occurred during the year. The most striking and debated was the fall of a meteorite Chelyabinsk.

It turns out the car – almost the same age as the solar system. This was announced today Academician Mikhail Marov.

– Isotopic analysis of lead gives reason to believe that a meteorite has an age of 4.56 billion years – announced the results of scientific research. – And this is fundamentally an interesting conclusion.

According to the academician, the uniqueness of the Chelyabinsk meteorite fall is that it took place in a densely populated area. Affected people: sought medical treatment more than a thousand people were in intensive care hundred witnesses.

– This event, I hope, made me think not only of scientists and engineers, but also the power, – said Mikhail Marov. – It is necessary to evaluate the significance of cosmic events and organize the work on their study. We do not exist in isolation. On the origin, evolution of the solar system, and many other things we can learn from the study of meteorites. In them lies the history and reconstruction processes taking place.

Recall that the Days of space science, on the latest achievements of Russian scientists and space-related events have been held since 2005. Today, a conference was held, at which academics to share their experience with colleagues, reporting on the results of unique and unexpected failures. And tomorrow, October 5, will host open house of the Institute for everyone.
