Chebarkul Lake

An object, which is a piece of a meteorite according to local authorities and scientists, is on display on the bank of the Chebarkul Lake, after it was lifted from the bottom of the lake, some 50 miles west of Chelyabinsk.

Meteorite lifted from Russian lake weighs so much it breaks the scale

Environment

Russian scientists have recovered a large chunk of what they say is a remnant of the Chelyabinsk meteor. Scientists will study the meteorite fragments to better understand the meteor that disintegrated over the Urals in a fiery explosion earlier this year. It’s so big it broke the scale they planned to use to weigh it.
