“Russian officials on Wednesday with the largest fragment so far of a meteor that exploded in February over the city of Chelyabinsk.”

I chose this article because it is Science related and I thought it was interesting how a space rock that was originally 10,000 tons can crash into earth unnoticed and end up to be only a fraction of a percent of its original size.
