Divers in Russia have been working away to recover possible fragments from the meteorite that exploded over Chelyabinsk earlier this year. The meteorite was captured on film by over a hundred on board cameras in vehicles in the most video-recorded impact to date.
Today the divers brought back what they believe to be a 570kg chunk of the space rock which is thought to have plunged in to Lake Chebarkul in central Russia leaving a 6m-wide hole in the ice almost 8 months ago.
If it is confirmed it is extra terrestrial, it would be the largest fragment of the meteorite discovered so far.
