Russian meteor chunk recovered from a lake near Chelyabinsk


Days ago, scientists recovered what would be largest part of a meteor in the last century. The meteor that fell in February injured more than 1,600 people with its shock wave. The blast was estimated to be stronger than 20 Hiroshima blasts. The meteor weighed 570 kilograms ( 1,256 pounds) and was recovered from a lake. The chunk is just believed to be a small portion of the meteor.
