on February 12, 1947, a shower of several thousand meteorites occurred in Siberia's Sikhote-Alin mountain range, between Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. This is both the largest meteorite shower known, and the most well-recorded. Individual rocks from the Sikhote-Alin event, of which about 6,000 have been recovered, are commonly seen for sale at shows and on the Internet. The largest rock recovered, weighing 1,745 kg (3,833 lbs), is housed at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
