A meteor that scientists estimate weighed nine tonnes streaked at supersonic speed over Russia's Ural Mountains on Friday, setting off blasts that injured some 500 people and frightened countless more. The Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement that the meteor over the Chelyabinsk region entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of at least 54,000 km/h and shattered about 30 to 50 kilometers above ground. |
