I've no doubt I'm stretching a bit here but there is logic to it The asteroid would have debris behind it sorta like a comet but obviously no where near the same scale and most of it I would expect to be pebble sized at most. However it's not unrealistic that on its journey something may have knocked some chunks off. They would continue in the same orbit speed and everything else if small enough, assuming of course whatever caused it to break off was just as simple as heat from the sun or some such. An impact would have sent pieces in a different orbit and speed. So lets assume the above occurred and you have a chunk of asteroid following right behind the main piece. The large mass hits the atmosphere almost like hitting a brick wall. Except that brick wall causes the front of the asteroid to heat to crazy temps near instantaneously, the rear stays deep space cold. Basically this is just heavy friction more or less. Anyways, this causes the explosion we see on all these videos and at the same time this effect is occurring to cause the explosion its forcing the object to slow down at a massive rate. Back to my theory of trailing debris, it would not have anything close to the same mass as the main object and by itself would not have that crazy instant slow down. The atmosphere would slow it in the same fashion but at a dramatically different rate. I suspect that if it was right behind the main mass as the video implies that it may not have felt any atmospheric impact at all at this point. Thus missile like impact to the asteroid. Like a cyclist riding same speed behind a car and the car suddenly hits a bus broadside. Now the debris on the front is interesting, because of how the video is filtered to allow us to see the debris it's hard to tell for sure what stage of the explosion this is at. My gut says this is just debris from the asteroid exploding itself but it doesn't seem to me that there is enough of it. It also seems too much to says its the piece from behind shattering. It also seems like the bright explosion occurs immediately after that debris spreads off. Maybe its just the start of everything flying off from the compression of the atmosphere." --"In this era of great big brains anything that can happen will. So hunker down." -- Kurt Vonnegut, JR. -- Galapagos. |
