Morning All!
Weird days, weird nights, weird dreams...weird times!
My ears are still at it and I don't know if it was the Nyquil I took or just sickness relapse but it seemed like there was an awful lot of air traffic last night heard planes going over in multiples until I finally fell asleep. I don't know about you guys but I found myself looking up at the night sky and scanning the horizon the few times I awoke during the night (felt kinda like chicken little) lol.
Anywhew...
Found this
Russian meteor largest in a century
Explosion rivalled nuclear blast, but rock was still too small for advance-warning networks to spot.
"It was a very, very powerful event," says Margaret Campbell-Brown, an astronomer at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, who has studied data from two infrasound stations near the impact site. Her calculations show that the meteoroid was approximately 15 metres across when it entered the atmosphere, and put its mass at around 40 tonnes. "That would make it the biggest object recorded to hit the Earth since Tunguska," she says.
The meteor appeared at around 09:25 a.m. local time over the region of Chelyabinsk, near the southern Ural Mountains. The fireball blinded drivers and a subsequent explosion blew out windows and damaged hundreds of buildings. So far, more than 700 people are reported to have been injured, mainly from broken glass, according to a statement from the Russian Emergency Ministry.
