Reference excerpt

Sulagiri is the official name of the meteorite which fell on 12 September 2008 in Sulagiri, Krishnagiri District, Tamil Nadu, India.

History On 12 September 2008, around 08:30, the meteorite fell from the northwestern sky, as observed by several people residing in the villages around the town of Sulaguri. According to the eyewitnesses, they heard a screeching sound and a bang. It was followed by house shaking explosions. Bright flashes and smoke were also observed. Noble gases, nitrogen and cosmic ray exposure age of the Sulagiri chondrite. The cosmic ray exposure age of Sulagiri chondrite is 27.9 ± 3.4 Ma. Krypton and xenon isotopes indicate that heavy noble gases are mixture of various components. Nitrogen concentration in Sulagiri 0.35 ppm. The trapped nitrogen (corrected for cosmogenic) signature in Sulagiri is δ15N = −74 ± 24 (‰).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sulagiri (meteorite)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sulagiri (meteorite) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sulagiri (meteorite) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sulagiri (meteorite) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sulagiri (meteorite)

In research: Sulagiri (meteorite) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sulagiri (meteorite) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sulagiri (meteorite) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2000s in Tamil Nadu, Chondrite meteorites, Meteorite falls, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sulagiri (meteorite) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
