Where did the meteorite fall in the year. A large meteorite fell in Khakassia (video)
KRASNOYARSK, 6 December. /TASS/. A celestial body, presumably a meteorite, fell on the territory of Khakassia. This was reported on the official website of the city of Sayanogorsk.
"According to preliminary data from the operational headquarters of civil defense and emergency situations in Sayanogorsk, at 18:37 (14:37 Moscow time) a celestial body, presumably a meteorite, fell in the Beysky district. Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, Mainskaya HPP, Rusal plants and life support facilities of the city are working normal," the statement said.

The celestial body fell, presumably, in the area of the Babik valley near Sayanogorsk. This was reported to TASS by the press secretary of the head of the republic Olga Kolesnikova.
"Presumably, something could have fallen in the Babik valley. Specialists have already gone there. The head of the republic was informed about the phenomenon. After all, we have strategic facilities in the Sayanogorsk region," the agency's interlocutor said.
Residents of Khakassia and the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in social networks write about the "glow in the sky." “This is an incredibly beautiful and terribly scary sight,” wrote one of the users of the social network “VKontakte”.
Scientist comment
The meteorite that exploded in the sky over Khakassia in the evening is several times smaller than the Chelyabinsk meteorite that fell into Lake Chebarkul in the Chelyabinsk region in February 2013. This was announced to TASS by a member of the Committee on Meteorites of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor of the Ural Federal University (UrFU) Viktor Grokhovsky.
“Indeed, a good meteorite exploded in the sky over Khakassia in the evening. It is several times smaller than the Chelyabinsk meteorite, but its fragments can be found. Now the main thing is to establish the exact trajectory of its flight and understand where its fragments fell. This will take about a day,” said Grokhovsky .
He added that during the explosion of a meteorite over Khakassia, a rumble was heard. “Now, in order to establish the power of the explosion, we need scans of special equipment. It is said that the meteorite fell in the area of the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station, but there is such a taiga that it will not be easy to find the wreckage,” the scientist noted.
According to him, now it is important to calculate the trajectory of the fall of a celestial body. “There were three flashes, the meteorite fragmented, its fragments could fall in several areas, but so far there is no data. The rumble was heard in the Abakan region, now we need to collect data,” Grokhovsky added.
According to the scientist, three years after the fall of the Chelyabinsk meteorite, attention to these "space wanderers" has not weakened. "There is progress in creating a system for detecting meteorites. However, this is a problem of a universal scale, and it is unrealistic to do something in two or three years. A lot of scientific data on these cosmic bodies and their modeling began to appear," Grokhovsky said.
Tonight, the fall of a large space object was recorded in the Republic of Khakassia. A bright flash at exactly 6:35 p.m. was noticed by a Khakassia Inform correspondent returning from work by car along the federal highway M-54 "Yenisei", approaching the village of Podsineya, Altai region of the republic. The glow in the Sayanogorsk region was visible throughout the sky (it was also observed in Abakan and Minusinsk, in Bey and Novokursk, in Borodino and Cheryomushki, as well as in Shira and Shushensky, that is, almost throughout Khakassia and the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory), however, as this happens during strong explosions or other seismic events, neither a roar, nor a sensation of the arrival of a shock wave was observed. No hum was heard either. However, the inhabitants of Sayanogorsk felt most of all and best of all that something was happening in Khakassia - five minutes after the incident, a message appeared on the local city forum with the short title “Explosion?”. The following is known so far...
Khakassia, December 6: Not a single coal mine in the republic carried out any technological explosions in Khakassia so late.
Nothing is known about launches of space rockets in the Russian Federation either (remembering the recent fall in Tuva of the wreckage of the Progress space cargo ship).
The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for Khakassia is already sorting out what happened (there is no information at this hour on the official website of the republican rescuers).
A team of specialists left for the place of the alleged fall of the cosmic body.
Not a single technologically dangerous production in Sayanogorsk and Khakassia as a whole was affected. All industrial facilities of the republic, including the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, are operating normally. The authorities of the republic, of course, have already been notified about the incident and are waiting for explanations from experts. Communications work in Khakassia, there is the Internet, electricity is supplied to all districts of the region regularly.
If it was a meteorite, then it is likely that it simply burned up in the atmosphere over Khakassia.
AN "Khakassia Inform" will continue to monitor the development of events around this emergency and urges the population not to panic.
"In the 9th and 5th it was heard" (we are talking about the microdistricts of Sayanogorsk - AN "Khakassia Inform")
“Now there was a flash and after 2 minutes a strong explosion was prolonged and from the side of the forest, as if in the direction of a smooth, crackling, fading rumble stood”
“A bright flash, like during the day. 40-60 seconds strong roar "
“Some kind of meteorite along the way ... Plemyash says: in a minute, something bright flew by ...”
“In the eighth it was heard well, the alarm went off on the cars”
“It was a crack for about a minute and then it became inaudible”
“We saw it too. The sky lit up, then it flashed through the clouds and after about three minutes it boomed.
“In the area of the Mainskaya hydroelectric power station, they say, something bright flew by”
“I thought someone slammed the door in the entrance loudly, the dogs barked”
In 5 microdistrict. flew some white garbage with a tail. It became as bright as day, and after 5 minutes there was an explosion
“It suddenly got so bright in the window, the husband did not believe until the roar appeared”
“A wave was felt through the plastic window. I thought the boiler room exploded "
“The Ministry of Emergency Situations said: “The hydroelectric power station is standing, the plant is in place. Don’t worry, everything is fine!” Well done boys"
“I am from Cheryomushki and we also had a bright glow, and then a roar, even the alarms on the cars worked. I went out to the balcony, the boys were standing on the street. they said they saw a big bright ball in the sky.”
“Southern, I didn’t see the flash, the rumble is strong, as if during an earthquake, but not with such an echo. Somehow the chill has gone. The cats were absolutely calm, just lying in an embrace with one, they didn’t even move their ears. ”
“They say the epicenter was closer to Bea”
“A meteorite fell on the left bank not far from the SSHGES. All is well at the station."
“It was so good in Chiriki, I raised my head, and there the meteorite flies, so fast and low! Disappeared behind a mountain in the region of Borus. And then it blew a minute later
“The flash was visible in Tashtyp and Abakan”
“Mom in Sabinka also saw the balloon, she thought that the neighbors’ gas was booming”
“Laughter with laughter, if it was a meteorite, then it’s somehow pale that it became a surprise for our defense industry. So the pendos can take advantage of our absent-mindedness "
“Physics is physics, the trajectory of a meteorite can even be tangent to a specific point on the Earth. You will not see a cold body in any telescope. And the speed of passage of the Earth's atmosphere, when the body is heated, is from 10 to 70 km / s. The height of the atmosphere is 120 km"
“Ministry of Emergency Situations claim that this is a meteorite”
“In Subbotino, people saw a ball with a white tail”
“I went to take out the trash. a bright flash, then a celestial body followed in the direction of the Ermakovo region, very bright. quickly disappeared. after 40-50 seconds there was an explosion"
“December 6, 2016 at 14:32 Moscow time, a small meteor that entered the earth’s atmosphere passed along a southwesterly trajectory and burned up in its upper layers, never reaching the surface without forming a meteorite. The sounds of the shock wave of the fireball were heard in most of the territory of Khakassia and the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory ....There were no planned launches on this date at Baikonur.”
20.00 :Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation for Khakassia: At 18:50 in the southern regions of the Republic of Khakassia, a flying luminous object was observed in the sky. A luminous object (presumably a meteorite) burned up in the dense layers of the atmosphere, which was accompanied by a bright flash and a characteristic sound. The working groups of the Ministry of Defense organized the verification of objects of the economy of the Republic of Kharkiv. All facilities are operating normally. The SSHPP is operating normally. Organized interaction with the duty officer of the information center of the State Corporation RosCosmos. The launch of space ships was not carried out, there were no crashes of space ships.
“When a meteor enters the atmosphere, it comes into contact with the molecules of the air mixture and then its surface is heated under the influence of friction. Friction generates sound waves. And the higher the speed of the object, the stronger the effect of the shock wave, so you heard a characteristic sound. Why didn't the window panes break? Yes, because the meteor was too small compared, for example, with Chelyabinsk. Yes, and the sound and length of the tail depends on the angle of entry into the atmosphere and its composition, and not only on the size ... ".
21.27 : Employees of the Khakass Ministry of Emergency Situations are checking economic facilities in the region after information has appeared about a meteorite burned in the dense layers of the atmosphere, the republican head office of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reports.
According to rescuers, an inspection of economic facilities in Khakassia has already been organized. "All facilities are functioning normally. Interaction with the call center of the information center of the Roscosmos State Corporation has been organized. No spacecraft have been launched, there have been no crashes of spaceships", the message notes.
21.38 : The Ministry of Emergency Situations is investigating the exact place where the meteorite fell in Khakassia. Experts left for the alleged fall zone.
December 7, 8:57: According to experts, the diameter of the celestial body, which, most likely, was rocky or rocky-water, was 10-15 m. Earth - every day on the surface of our planet, primarily in the oceans, a "noticeable amount" of such celestial bodies falls. According to the scientist, meteorites like Khakass do not pose a threat to humanity. The situation is different if the celestial body is made of iron, or its diameter exceeds 15-20 m, TASS reports.

And it’s not in vain that an anti-aircraft missile regiment was formed in Khakassia)))
But what about the rocket men who deployed with us? Why didn't they bring down the threat?
I also heard quite a powerful explosion, the cat did not react in any way
Unfortunately, this video is a burning block of the recently fallen Progress...
I saw this with my parents and the whole city in 1989 in the south of Yamal. Maybe a meteorite, or maybe space debris .. Who knows ...
Oh god, take the video down! It was shown on our news on the 1st, when a ship flying to the ISS fell
Unfortunately we can't remove this video because it's titled exactly like today's meteorite impact. If it is subsequently found to be a "Progress" video, it will be removed. Sincerely.
A flash of light was visible in the White Yar. Five minutes later, the roar of an explosion is clearly audible.
We have a cat at night and all day behaved restlessly. He screamed and sat at the front door. In the evening I hid in the bath. Now it's calm.
On the first video, the moment of the last fall of "Progess" Fake news
"information about a meteorite burned in the dense layers of the atmosphere"
Doubles!!!
Open, damn you all there, a school astronomy textbook and read what a "meteor" is, and what a "meteorite" is.
If an object managed to fly to the surface of the planet and hit the ground, then this is called the term "meteorite". Well, if it burned up in the atmosphere before reaching the earth, it’s not a meteorite to hell, but just a meteor.
and it’s a no brainer that it wasn’t a meteorite that fell on the power plant, but an intercontinental rocket. we are already being bombed, however, this hydroelectric power plant has been haunting the Americans for a long time. apparently a very important part of Russia's infrastructure.
How did you not hear? It seemed to me that the gas had exploded near my father during the temporary hut. We are in Maina
I tell you truly, we are being bombed. the false media is passing it all off as a meteorite. and this is to bomb us and we do not survive.
The object passed from Sayanogorsk because of the Yenisei (there were no "explosions" in the air). They were located in the taiga massif of the tract "Shaggy Mane" of the Sayans of the Shushensky district. A blue-green orb with a long, pale crimson tail. The speed was decent, a spot of light as bright as daylight moved across the ground. I flew close enough, I might be wrong, but still from the northwest to the southeast. Over Khakassia did not explode and did not fall! Judging by the geography, it hit the ground somewhere in the deep taiga of the Sayano-Shushensky Reserve, it is more likely that it flew to the taiga massifs of Tyva. He walked at an angle to the ground, but small, flew past us in 3-4 seconds, the flash of light lasted the same amount from bright green, blue-white, to yellow. After 20 seconds, a sound wave came - a rumble rising to loud and subsiding, it rumbled for a long time and at the end a short loud roar (apparently from a fall). In the first moment, it was considered that a helicopter was flying and shining a searchlight on the ground at a low altitude. They really expected the arrival of a shock wave, but there were no more "miracles".
In one of the videos, where two objects are moving, it is not a meteorite, but Progress, which fell in Tyva last week.
In the depths of space, millions of irreversible events occur every second, and we are not yet destined to foresee these events. One of the recent celestial events was the falling Chelyabinsk meteorite, which gave heat to the Internet, and a lot of people's exciting conversations.
A new threat from outer space
Our scientists have discovered new meteorite which is slightly more than Chelyabinsk meteorite, flying at a speed of about 38 km per hour, and in a collision with the ground, it can cause real damage, since the impact power will be almost 2 times stronger than in Chelyabinsk.
But we do not need blows from outside, since the earth is constantly and so shaken by earthquakes, and there have been quite a few in the past, and strike from space can provoke irreversible reactions in the underground layers of our planet.
When will the 2016 meteorite fall?
The public is very worried when in 2016 meteorite approaching earth, and whether there will be a collision with the ground or all the same this meteorite will fly by.
Whether it will hit the ground with a meteor or not, it is still difficult to predict, but when the nearest distance of this meteorite from the ground will be already known. This meteorite will almost make it to , and will approach much earlier, March 5, 2016, will be strike from space, which we may remember for a long time, or a celestial body will fly past at great speed, and we will wave goodbye to it.
But in all likelihood this meteorite even with direct aiming at the planet, it will most likely burn out in dense layers of the atmosphere, as was the case with the Chelyabinsk meteorite.
The meteorite may not burn
But there are also historical facts when meteorites did not burn out completely in the dense layers of the atmosphere and fell to the ground, bringing significant destruction. For example, in 2000, a huge meteorite weighing almost 420 kg. A distinctive feature of the Fukang meteorite is its extraordinary beauty, but the preserved size is also impressive.
Scientists have calculated that this meteorite has lain on our planet for 4.5 billion years, which makes this miracle stone the same age as our planet. It is believed that this is a fragment of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs on our planet.
But the other side of this surprise is also there, this meteorite is stuffed with precious stones, and is recognized as the most beautiful meteorite found on the planet. The approximate cost of this cobblestone is just over two million dollars.
But whether the meteorite will be precious this time, which will fall around March 5, 2016, one can only guess, but even if the meteorite is of jewelry value, its threat is much more important and this is a real reality that must be feared.
But what if it gives an unpredictable impact force, and the consequences are much stronger, which can damage the outer atmospheric shell of our planet, then we will have to adapt to live in outer space as. But this is impossible, the atmospheric pressure drop from a meteorite impact will simply destroy all life on the planet.
But let's think that everything will be fine, and the celestial body will rush past our planet. And even if a meteorite hits the earth in 2016, it will bring the most insignificant consequences, which we won’t even remember.
Published on 06.12.16 19:19On December 6, 2016, a meteorite fell in Khakassia, the diameter of which was approximately 10-15 meters.
Meteorite in Khakassia, 12/06/2016: a small meteorite fell in Eastern Siberia
vid_roll_width="300px" vid_roll_height="150px">A small meteorite burned up during a fall over Eastern Siberia, Interfax reports, citing a source in the rocket and space industry.
"A body of cosmic origin of insignificant size fell into the dense layers of the atmosphere and burned up in them. The process was reflected by a bright glow in the sky over a number of Siberian regions, including the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia," the source said, adding that the asteroid burned out completely, not intkbbee reaching the earth.
Meteorite in Khakassia 2016 was most likely rocky
According to the leading researcher at the Department of Space Dynamics and Mathematical Information Processing of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Natan Eismont, its diameter was about 10-15 meters, and it was most likely rocky or rocky-water, TASS reports.
"It is clear that this was not a very large meteorite. Judging by the fact that it nevertheless burned down or exploded, in general, did not reach the surface, it is clear that its diameter is unlikely to be more than 10 or 15 meters, and that it, according to apparently, not iron. Most likely, stony or stony-water, "said the scientist.

Eismont also noted that a considerable number of meteorites regularly fall on the Earth, and they pose a danger if they are made of iron and have a diameter of more than 15-20 meters, or if they "enter steeply vertically into the air shell of the Earth."
According to the press secretary of the head of Khakassia, Olga Kolesnikova, a meteorite in Khakassia fell, presumably, in the area of the Babik valley near Sayanogorsk. The celestial body exploded in the atmosphere: three flashes were visible and a rumble was heard.
In Khakassia, in the Beysky district near the city of Sayanogorsk, a meteorite fell at 18:37 local time (14:37 Moscow time), according to the Sayanogorsk.info website, citing the city’s operational headquarters for civil defense and emergencies.
“A body of cosmic origin of insignificant size fell into the dense layers of the atmosphere and burned up in them. The process was reflected by a bright glow in the sky over a number of Siberian regions, including the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia,” an Interfax source in the rocket and space industry said.
The meteorite burned down completely before reaching the ground. "The incident did not cause any damage to ground facilities. Local residents also did not feel the impact," the source added.
The emergency services of the region received more than 420 calls with reports of an unusual phenomenon. According to eyewitnesses, the lighting after the flash approached daylight. The fall of the celestial body was accompanied by a roar, from which the walls began to stagger.

Sayanogorsk residents claim that the meteorite itself glowed yellow, followed by a blue "tail". Many cars had alarms after the explosion. Fragments of a celestial body fell in the area of the Babik valley, not far from the city of Sayanogorsk, RIA Novosti reports. The flash from the fall of the meteorite was so strong that it was seen by residents of the capital of the region of Abakan, which is located 80 kilometers from Sayanogorsk.
“We saw a flash, after about two minutes the vibration passed in the houses and a roar was heard, from which the car alarms went off,” the website of the TVK television company quotes an eyewitness.
“Everything lit up like daylight! I don’t understand what it is, the sun doesn’t shine like that! After that there was an explosion, somewhere far away, but there was a rumble. I saw the stars falling, but this ... I don’t know how to convey: from a small dot above my head it turned into a ball larger than a machine!" says another eyewitness.
"Walked with a friend. We got up at the store and a friend screamed when she saw a huge flash. And screamed about it incessantly. I did not believe it, because I stood with my back to the flash, and it seemed to me that the light bulb went out. I did not believe and said that she went crazy. And suddenly there was a huge explosion! All the cars began to chirp at once. It was very scary. Dad said that the windows were shaking a lot. We assume that it was a meteorite. Pants full of emotions!" - said a local resident.
Finding the wreckage will be difficult due to the lack of a fireball system.
Member of the Committee on Meteorites of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor of the Ural Federal University (UrFU) Viktor Grokhovsky told TASS that "a good meteorite exploded in the sky over Khakassia."
According to him, fragments of a celestial body can be found if the exact trajectory of its flight is established. It is believed that it fell in the area of the Sayano-Shushinskaya hydroelectric power station, but there "there is such a taiga that it will not be easy to find the wreckage."
"There were three outbursts, the meteorite was fragmenting, the fallout of its fragments is possible in several areas, but so far there are no data," Viktor Grokhovsky added. "The rumble was heard in the Abakan region, now we need to collect data."
Dmitry Wiebe, head of the department of physics and evolution of stars at the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, also believes that the search will be difficult. "If something has fallen, it will not be easy to find, because along the trajectory you can only restore approximately the area where the debris fell, and further, if it is Siberia, then it will be quite difficult to search," he told the Life website.
The scientist stated the need "to have our own system that would notify in advance of the approach of dangerous bodies, and on the other hand, fix the place of their fall." "These are two tasks and two systems," he said.
Life and Grokhovsky complained about the lack of a fireball system. Videos from social networks, according to him, will not help much in determining the trajectory: "We need at least ten from different sides. After Chelyabinsk, we shoot only on DVRs, we don't have a powerful fireball system in Russia, that's the trouble."
The Institute for Space Research suggested the diameter and composition of the meteorite
Leading researcher at the Department of Space Dynamics and Mathematical Information Processing of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences Natan Eismont told TASS that the diameter of the celestial body probably did not exceed 15 meters, and it consisted of rocky or rocky-water components.
"It is clear that this was not a very large meteorite. Judging by the fact that it nevertheless burned down or exploded, in general, did not reach the surface, it is clear that its diameter is unlikely to be more than 10 or 15 meters and that it, apparently not iron. Most likely, (meteorite) stony or stony-water," Eismont said.
Meteorites similar to the one that fell in Khakassia do not pose a threat to humanity, he added. They become dangerous if they consist of iron and their dimensions exceed 15-20 meters, or if they "enter steeply vertically into the air shell of the Earth." However, the meteorite, which was photographed by eyewitnesses in Khakassia, according to the scientist, does not fall under the above characteristics.
At the same time, it is “fundamentally very difficult to see a meteorite approaching the Earth in advance,” Eismont emphasizes. If the fireball approaches the planet from the sunny side, then it is almost impossible to see it, but even if it moves from the night side, it is still very difficult for scientists to see it in the night sky and have time to calculate the flight path.
The last time a large meteorite exploded over Russia on February 15, 2013 in the Chelyabinsk region. The shock wave damaged buildings and shattered many windows. The meteorite was included in the new edition of the Guinness Book of Records due to the fact that the largest number of people suffered from it in the history of the fall of celestial bodies to Earth.
The Guinness Book of Records indicates that about 1,200 people were affected by the fall of the meteorite. Meanwhile, earlier the Chelyabinsk authorities reported that there were 1,613 victims, most of them were injured from windows shattered by a sound wave. Were hospitalized, according to various sources, from 40 to 112 people.
