February 15, 2013 in the Urals, a meteorite fell. Today Chelyabinsk meteorite - if not the most famous, then one of the most famous. An incredible huge amount of photo / video material has played a significant role in such a big fame.

A little about myself - I am a little interested in astronomy, and it suddenly became interesting to me to calculate the elements of the meteoroid orbit based on the photo and video. But for me it was a problem to find a large number of videos. The fact is that when calculating orbits for more accurate results, as many measurements as possible should be taken into account.
On youtube, I found less than five videos that could be put into action, but the problem is that they were not tied to the site, that is, the coordinates of the shooting location were not given. And then I came across the work of one enthusiast who helped me a lot.
His name is Nikita Loskutov (

Catalog of photos / videos of Chelyabinsk meteorite with shooting coordinates:

I am very glad that there are enthusiasts who spend a lot of time creating such things, because this is part of our history and science. On the other hand, social networks have greatly helped in this project.
