2021 Fall Date Project

The MPOD Caretakers want to present meteorite falls on their fall dates. For example, Sikhote Aline on 12 February.

This Project will not dip into the MPOD archives so the Caretakers will appreciate anything you can contribute.

To reserve a date just let us know. Thank you in advance :)

H5 S3 W0

On February 28, 2010, at 22:24:46 UT a bright fireball appeared over central-eastern Slovakia. The bolide reached at least -18 maximum brightness. Sonic booms were recorded at seven seismic stations in Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland.

The fall area was computed on the basis of two surveillance cameras operating in Hungary (A. Igaz, HAA) by J. Borovicka (CzAS). The first meteorite (27.2 g) was found March 20 by J. Toth (CUB) to the northwest of the city of Košice (eastern Slovakia). Pieces were found by teams led by the Faculty of the Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, CUB and SAS. The largest stone weighs 2.2 kg.

I was able to get a small 1.5 gram slice of this "recent" Fall from Zsolt. There are pictures in the MetBull that are really interesting of a stone lodged into the side of a log of wood. Look at the ART & MET photos...hit the MetBull individual photo link to get to the actual Encyclopedia photo link.
