It was the largest meteorite to hit Earth in a century – and now the human and scientific fallout is clear. After the initial explosion in the sky, two larger chunks of rock survived and continued plunging through the atmosphere. One of them broke apart at an altitude of about 18 kilometres, the other sailed on to eventually land in Lake Chebarkul, leaving a 7-metre-wide hole in the ice. The latter fragment was recovered by a diver in October, and weighed in at 570 kilograms.
