That was amazing and totally scary as shit!
| appolose said: Why on earth is this not getting more news? It's almost a side-story on Yahoo. A meteor as visible as this is extremely rare, and, save for one story, I can't recall any recorded injuries from meteorites. This one injured hundreds! This is unprecedented. |
Dude, whats wrong with you? Nikki Minaj new ass pics are more important.
Given the data we have so far the meteorite that fell in Russia may had a mass of 1/20 of the asteroid 2012 DA14 (the one that was going to pass near the Earth) or more.
Fun thing:
I go to wikipedia for some info, click on airburst in the impact event page and end in:
"Airburst is a 2001 Mac OS game developed by Strange Flavour and published by Freeverse."
Megatron!
It must have been way into the kiloton range otherwise no way it wouldn't have shattered glass dozens of km below. Basically a small nuke.
I wouldn't completely rule out it had something to do with that Asteroid passing close by. Lots of asteroids are piles of dust and stone barely held together by gravity and could be easily disrupted by a stronger gravitational field.
The thing that amazed me was that people live in Siberia! Woah!
Seriously though, that was really cool. Hope whoever got hurt is able to recover well.
amazing, scary and sad all at once.
..if you want to add a bit of humor, just after this story aired on my news i saw an ad for skyfall.
Was that it though for the steroid that would pass near earth today? When i first read about a month ago, the report mentioned a rock 50 meters in size. This meteorite was was too small to be the one mentioned. And yes i know they tend to get smaller because of the friction after entering the planet's atmosphere. Does anyone know more about this?
