The Chelyabinsk meteor is also the only meteor confirmed to have resulted in injuries. No deaths were reported. The earlier-predicted and well-publicized close approach of a larger asteroid on the same day, the roughly 30 m (100 ft) 367943 Duende , occurred about 16 hours later; the very different orbits of the two objects showed they were ...
The Chelyabinsk meteorite (Russian: Челябинский метеорит, Chelyabinskii meteorit) is the fragmented remains of the large Chelyabinsk meteor of 15 February 2013 which reached the ground after the meteor's passage through the atmosphere.

The meteor which exploded over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk on 15 February 2013 released the energy of 30 atomic bombs, shaking the ground, damaging buildings, and injuring over 1,500 people.
The below charts visualise the warning times of the close approaches listed in the above bargraph, by the size of the asteroid instead of by the year they occurred in. The sizes of the charts show the relative sizes of the asteroids to scale. This is based on the absolute magnitude of each asteroid, an approximate measure of size based on ...

Implementation of Mogul's experimental infrasound detection of nuclear tests exist today in ground-based detectors, part of so-called Geophysical MASINT (Measurement And Signal INTelligence). In 2013, this world-wide network of sound detectors picked up the large explosion of the Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia. The strength of the sound waves was ...
The event Raisani describes is known as the Chelyabinsk meteor, which began as an asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere on Feb. 13, 2013, at approximately 60 ft. in diameter and weighing 10,000 ...
