Astronomers have determined the orbit of Annama, a newly characterized meteorite from a fireball which occurred on April 19, 2014, at the Kola Peninsula. Researchers highlight the importance of this finding because this is only the 23rd meteorite with a known orbit. It is important to know the orbit in order to determine the level of risk to Earth.
