Videos of Russian Meteorite Collections

[David Entwistle]

As I may have mentioned previously, a chap called Oleg Tarabanov has posted some videos of his visit to Moscow Museums to have a look at the meteorites. He's been to the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics (Музей космонавтики) and Fersman Mineralogical Museum (Минералогическом музее им. А.Е.Ферсмана). More about meteorites at the Fersman Mineralogical Museum here.

Where I could find them, I've added links to the Russian equivalent of the Meteorological Bulletin Database.
