Hi Bjorn,
I've been gone on vacation for 5 days so I don't know if your
question below was adequately answered yet, but there is no
discrepancy between the two pictures. As I pointed out last
week in one of my posts, while the trajectory appears to be
parallel to the Kazakhstan/Russian border in
List,
There seem to be posted two quite different images to the list about
the compass direction from where the meteor came on Friday 15,
morning (local).
Obviously one of them must be wrong. Surprising if the weather image
is wrong, how did that come about?
Which one is closest to the direction
The meteor came from the east (where the Sun was rising). Where did you get
the image at the bottom? Everything I have seen about this has said or
showed (in videos) that it came from near the Sun and was travelling to the
west.

Hi Bob
The bottom image was posted to the list with two others showing closer
up projection on a map of The Chelyabinsk area. They all three show the
roughly 120 degree azimuth entry. They seems to be detailed and some
level of work behind.
The Sun at this time would rise in the region at 100-110
Hi Bjørn,
In the videos, the meteor is first seen above and to the left of the rising
sun, so that would mean that it was further north than the rising sun. If
you estimate the sun to be rising between 100-110 degrees azimuth, then the
meteor would be less than 100 degrees, so the 80 degree
Bob,
The link below support strongly (from Robin Whittle post, thanks to him)
the trajectory of the lower image in my first link. From the videos it is
found that
the bolide travelled almost right overYemanzhelinsk which is south of Korkino,
which are two suburbs south of Chelyabinsk. Then
