Brahin, Space meteorite site near Brahin town, Belarus.
The Brahin meteorite contains angular olivine crystals embedded within an iron-nickel matrix, representing a rare type that makes up only 1.8% of known meteorites.
The first two substantial masses of the Brahin meteorite, weighing 80 and 20 kilograms, were discovered by farmers in Kaporenki district during 1807.
The meteorite collection in Belarus demonstrates the connection between scientific research and natural phenomena through educational programs at regional museums.
The meteorite fragments extend across a field measuring 15 kilometers in length and 3 kilometers in width, intersected by the Dnieper River.
The 2002 excavation revealed a significant mass of 227 kilograms at a depth of 3 meters within the Brahin strewn field.
