Post(?)Organic Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 More than 500 people were injured when a meteorite shot across the sky and exploded over central Russia on Friday, sending fireballs crashing to Earth, shattering windows and damaging buildings. People heading to work in Chelyabinsk heard what sounded like an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt a shockwave according to a Reuters correspondent in the industrial city 1500 km east of Moscow. A fireball blazed across the horizon, leaving a long white trail in its wake which could be seen as far as 200 km away in Yekaterinburg. Car alarms went off, windows shattered and mobile phone networks were interrupted. http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/8310799/Russia-showered-by-meteorite-rain I duno, I just thought that this was pretty damn interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl_RknL9G-Q 1 Quote

Post(?)Organic Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 It would have been terrifying, yet interesting all at the same time. Would have been pretty surreal I imagine Quote

DFighter Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 in 29 minutes a planetoid from 45 meters wide will cross the earth about 27500 km from the earth surface. if it would hit we would be all dead there is also a stream following it. but you only see white dot on satelite image its the biggest object that came this close to earth in modern history.
