The largest region of Russia looks like a magnet for meteors that fall from the sky and explain why scientists. In 1908 in Tunguska, Siberia, a meteor (or perhaps a comet) exploded in the air by destroying 1500 square km forest.
In 1947, a 70 ton meteor rain of iron and nickel fell Sinkhote-Alin mountains, in Siberia, forming thirty craters. In 2013, on the eve of Valentine's Day, a fireball exploded in the sky near Chelyabinsk, Siberia, the case is documented by dozens of video recorded by drivers where fireball produced a shock wave that shattered thousands of windows and injured hundreds of people .
In 2016, on December 4, about 18:00, another fireball illuminated the sky over Siberia Sayanogorsk. Is there anything in Siberia that attracts like a magnet meteors?
In fact we should not be surprised about the great number of meteors falling from the sky in this region of the world. Although less populated, Siberia is greater, or less than 10% of the Earth's surface. To make a comparison. United States-a country that we imagine we see in hartë- estimated to be only 1.9% of the planet, that is less than Siberia. Logically possibility of falling meteors in the US is less.
It is therefore quite reasonable to Siberia fall a large number of objects from space, in comparison with others. Every day across the globe, from the sky fall about 100 tonnes meteors, whether in the form of dust, gravel or larger buildings.
The latter form the craters in the ground. The land is large and about 70% of it is covered with water, but when meteors fall into the oceans, the opportunity to document is too small.
We should not surprise that around 10 meteors fall to earth every day and the fact that Siberia has a very large area, the probability of falling meteors in this space is even higher.
