Radar detects a meteorite pit under Russian lake
Thanks to radar technology, an asteroid crater has been exposed at the bottom of Lake Chebarkul, after experts attempted to find a meteorite collision point in Russia with the Earth's surface during the mid-February event.

The meteorite in Russia broke into 7 large fragments when it exploded in the sky of Chelyabinsk city and one of these pieces slipped into Lake Chebarkul, creating a hole of 7.5m in diameter on the ice.
Scientists from Russia's Institute of Magnetism, Earth's Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Transmissions conducted a study on the lake bed, according to RIA Novosti.
'The three-dimensional image of the lake bottom shows a 3 meter wide hole, most likely created when the meteorite falls,' said researcher Alexey Popov.
The impact crater is not located directly below the hole in the ice, but about 9m away.
Earlier, the clone teams scoured the area in February but found no trace of meteorite debris in the thick mud layer at the bottom of the lake.
