Well..looks like the Big..space rock has..kept on going... better luck next time meanwhile............................................. The Russians have moved quickly, and have already found multiple impact sites left by the meteorite that crashed in the Urals. Army units found three meteorite debris impact sites, two of which are in an area near Chebarkul Lake, west of Chelyabinsk. The third site was found some 80 kilometers further to the northwest, near the town of Zlatoust. One of the fragments that struck near Chebarkul left a crater six meters in diameter. [iframe id="google_ads_iframe_/1011927/PJM_300_by_250_middle_0" name="google_ads_iframe_/1011927/PJM_300_by_250_middle_0" width="300" height="250" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" src="" style="border-width: 0px;"][/iframe] Servicemembers from the tank brigade that found the crater have confirmed that background radiation levels at the site are normal. And they have found at least one fragment. Experts working at the site of the impact told Lifenews tabloid that the fragment is most likely solid, and consists of rock and iron. A local fisherman told police he found a large hole in the lake’s ice, which could be a result of a meteorite impact. The site was immediately sealed off by police, a search team is now waiting for divers to arrive and explore the bottom of the lake. Here’s the hole in the lake ice, via Russia Today. Solar system astronomy usually takes a back seat to sexier research on deep space, black holes and cosmology. That’s about to change, for a little while. Let the meteorite gold rush begin. The next few years will be an amazing period in asteroid and solar system research. We have today’s near miss, from which we may be able to learn quite a bit through close-up imagery from multiple telescopes and satellites. And we have the crash in Russia, which was witnessed by thousands of people and captured on numerous videos and photos.
