russian meteorite rain

The meteorite exploded in the Russian sky last month more likely to split from an asteroid and collided with another celestial body tens of millions of years ago.

Russian scientists said that the meteorite 'choose' Earth is the destination because it had collided with other meteorites in the universe before.

Russia's deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin said yesterday he supported the call for the establishment of a system capable of preventing threats from space outside the globe.

Russian scientists have found the largest meteorite to date in the meteorite fall in Ural on February 15.
