The meteorite hunter is honored
The Russian scientist Victor Grokhovsky has been named in the Top 10 list by the Nature Science magazine of the UK who changed the notion of the modern world by studying meteorites falling near TP. Ural in February 2013.
The Russian scientist is one of 10 people in 2013 who changed the picture of the world. All thanks to the study of meteorites falling on February 15 from the atmosphere to the outskirts of Chelyabinsk.

Associate Professor Victor Grokhovsky and his students at Ural Federal University were the first to arrive at the scene where the meteorite fell. They organized an expedition to search and found the first broken meteorite two days later.
It was Grochowski who organized the filming and broadcasting online from Lake Chebarkul so that the whole world could see the meteorite fragment.
Later, the scientists set the trajectory of falling and conducted research on the physical and chemical properties of meteorites. Using optical and electronic microscopes, experts identified an unusual series of nickel-iron sulfides, indigenous copper in meteorites. In addition, they also discovered the unusually low sustainability of the debris. It is this that determines the special decay properties of the celestial body.
With Victor Grochowski, Russian scientists organized more than 100 expeditions and collected about 700 meteorite fragments. In October 2013, the discovery of the bottom of the largest lake of the meteorite (weighing about 570kg) confirmed the theory of scientists and his team on the origin of the alien universe of debris. .
The study of meteorite Chebarkul made Grokhovski recognized as one of the leading experts on meteorites.
