Description: Trajectory projection of the Chelyabinsk superbolide and strewnfield map of recovered meteorites. The map shows the recorded find locations of 253 Chelyabinsk meteorites, of which 199 were documented with the weight of the respective masses (status of July 18, 2013, see map legend for data sources and further information.) A first version of this work was shown in the exhibition “Chelyabinsk 2013” in the Rieskratermuseum, Noerdlingen, Germany. The present version was updated for the University of Alberta’s exhibition "When the Sky Falls,” which was coinciding with the 76th annual meeting of the Meteoritical Society in Edmonton, Canada. For detailed excerpts and flight trajectories of individual masses refer to the source: Buhl S.: "Fire, ice and meteorites. The search for remains of the Chelyabinsk superbolide", Meteorite Recon, July 2013.
