Braunschweig, Meteorite at Staatliches Naturhistorisches Museum in Braunschweig, Germany.
The Braunschweig meteorite, weighing 1.3 kilograms, created a 7-centimeter wide crater when it struck concrete pavement in the Melverode suburb.
On April 23, 2013, at 2:05 AM, the meteorite fell at 250 kilometers per hour, landing just 3 meters from resident Erhard Seemann's front door.
Scientists from Technical University of Braunschweig collaborated with expert Rainer Bartoschewitz to analyze and document this celestial object for research purposes.
Visitors can examine the L6 ordinary chondrite fragments at the Staatliches Naturhistorisches Museum, which maintains specimens for educational and research activities.
The impact scattered hundreds of fragments within an 18-meter radius, while a weather station in Brandenburg recorded a 5-second brightening event 240 kilometers away.
