Anonymous Coward User ID: 34458887 Portugal 02/15/2013 12:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Updated: Friday, 15 February, 2013 at 15:46 UTC Description A Russian health official says nearly 1,000 people have sought help for injuries caused by a meteor that exploded in the sky, blasting out countless windows. Chelyabinsk health chief Marina Moskvicheva, said Friday that 985 people in her city had asked for medical assistance. The Interfax news agency quoted her as saying 43 were hospitalized. The Russian Academy of Sciences said the meteor - estimated to be about 10 tons - entered the Earth's atmosphere going at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph). It shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above the ground, releasing several kilotons of energy above the Ural Mountains. Amateur video broadcast on Russian television showed an object speeding across the sky just after sunrise, leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash. [link to hisz.rsoe.hu] |

Height 18.27.30 to 18.26.30. Big big candy corn! LOL Quoting: abeliever Where do you get this estimated sizes from AB!? On the chart on the x and y axes are the numbers. I remembered roughly how much it filled the graph and looked at the numbers on the axes. |

shadasonic User ID: 34416224 United States 02/15/2013 01:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its only supposed to get 27,700 km away and we've got 30 minutes left to closest approach, very interesting “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan |

shadasonic User ID: 34416224 United States 02/15/2013 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's the speed along the parabola in relative distance to the earth, not the linear velocity of the object. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31491525 When the asteroid reaches 0km, it will be at it's closest distance to the earth before leaving in an outbound trajectory. sounds legit “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
