Abstract
The Chelyabinsk meteor sailed over skies in a streak of light that was momentarily brighter than the Sun. The Chelyabinsk superbolide is a complex and multi-aspect phenomenon. The Appendix to the book examines the role of cosmic collisions in the formation and evolution of such bodies of the solar system as the Moon, double asteroids and irregular satellites of giant planets.
