Chebarkul meteorite, light micrograph C015 / 2863
Chebarkul meteorite fragment seen through a microscope in polarised light. This research is being carried out at the Vernadsky Institute, Moscow, Russia. The meteoroid and meteor (Chelyabinsk Event) that produced this and other meteorite fragments occurred at around 09:20 local time (03:20 UTC) on 15 February 2013 over Russias Chelyabinsk region. The meteoroid weighed several thousand tons, reaching an altitude of around 20 kilometres before exploding in an airblast. Most fragments found so far are less than a few centimetres across. Photographed on 28 February 2013

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of the Chebarkul meteorite, captured through a microscope in polarised light. The research behind this image took place at the prestigious Vernadsky Institute in Moscow, Russia. The Chebarkul meteoroid and subsequent Chelyabinsk Event occurred on February 15,2013, over Russia's Chelyabinsk region. Weighing several thousand tons, the meteoroid reached an altitude of approximately 20 kilometers before detonating in a powerful airblast. The photograph was taken on February 28th of that same year and provides us with an up-close view of this extraordinary celestial specimen. Most fragments discovered thus far are relatively small, measuring only a few centimeters across. This particular fragment exhibits intricate crystal structures and minerals under examination using advanced microscopy techniques. The significance of studying these meteorite fragments lies within their potential to unravel mysteries about our universe's formation and evolution. Analytical chemistry and geophysics play crucial roles in deciphering the composition and properties of these extraterrestrial rocks. As we delve into Earth sciences and physical geography, it is essential to comprehend natural hazards such as meteoroids impacting our planet. By examining samples like this one from the Chelyabinsk region, scientists gain valuable insights into how such events occur and their implications for our understanding of space exploration. Valeriy Melnikov expertly captures the beauty hidden within this tiny piece of cosmic history through his lens—a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for nature's wonders beyond our atmosphere.
