"The age of Chelyabinsk meteorites, 4.56 billion years old, almost coincides with the age of our Solar System. This means that we have captured what may be called creative matter , " he said. Marov said.

"They (meteorites) hold the history of evolution at the earliest stage in the history of the Solar System , " added scientist Marov.

Previously, experts at the Vernadsky Institute once said that the meteorites they used to study were part of a larger asteroid.

Reportedly, on February 15, 2013, a 17-20 meter asteroid exploded in the sky of Russia's Chelyabinsk region, injuring about 1,500 people, mainly due to broken glass by the impact of Shockwave.

This is considered the largest meteorite ever penetrated the Earth's atmosphere in 83 years.
