Meteorite Explosion Over Moscow Sends Fragments to Novgorod and Tver Regions

A meteorite exploded over Moscow on October 27, scattering fragments to the Novgorod and Tver regions. The celestial object entered the atmosphere at a speed of 35 km/s, disintegrating at an altitude of 42 km. In a span of just 20 seconds, it traversed areas including Vologda, Cherepovets, and part of the Rybinsk Reservoir.

Debris from the meteorite has been discovered near the M-11 highway connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg, indicating the extent of its reach beyond the initial explosion site.
