​On February 15, 2013, the Chelyabinsk meteor sailed over Russian
skies in a streak of light that was momentarily brighter than the
Sun. The remarkable event and its subsequent shock wave were
witnessed and documented by countless local residents, launching a
widespread scientific expedition to gather and study the remaining
meteoritic fragments. This book chronicles Chelyabinsk’s tale of
recovery and discovery from the minds of many of the scientists who
studied the superbolide, leading field experiments and collecting
meteorites and meteorite dust across the region. The Chelyabinsk
superbolide is a complex and multi-aspect phenomenon. The book not
only presents the results of the scientific research but also
details the firsthand experiences of those involved in such
efforts, providing readers with a unique opportunity to look at the
"inner workings" of science that are seldom shown to the public.
Over the course of their studies, the scientists collected over 200
photographs and a dozen video recordings taken by nearly 40
different eyewitnesses. Many of those never-before-published
illustrations and photos can be found in full color in the pages of
this book.
