In a report from Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), it has been said that a meteor shaved through the Earth and rippled around the atmosphere. Good amount of energy was exuded in the form of a powerful shock and shocked the world.
This action affected Chelyabinsk and resulted in humungous property destruction. There were good amount of injuries as figures state that 1,500 men were injured in the process. The data collected from global detectors has unveiled that meteor's shock wave traveled all the way around the globe. This happened twice.
The global detector that is used by the researchers is used to detect ultra-low frequency acoustic waves. This event took place at Russian Urals region on February 15, 2013. The International Monitoring System (IMS) network is used to understand infrasound evidence of nuclear tests. On this day of blast, it detected one of the most powerful events.
This was a high-speed event that possessed 10,000 ton amount of space rock. This unprecedented event was scary for the researchers as well as the residents.
One of the researchers has explained, "A preliminary estimate of the explosive energy using empirical period-yield scaling relations gives a value of 460 kilotons of TNT equivalent".
