| Anonymous Coward User ID: 49566394 United States12/23/2013 02:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When we look an an ancient terrain of the earth (old meteor scars) and we see what they have done in THE PAST to other heavenly bodies, like mars and the moons surface I just wonder..... What if... What if we have traveled this path through the galaxy long ago? What if what scarred the moon is just something we went through long ago? What if we are entering that section of the galaxy and it is going to begin scarring the planets again like it did so long ago? Something to think about. :) If I am right, we are going to see a definite uptick in big meteors and landfalls. Hopefully I am wrong. |

The meteor was travelling too slowly and the wrong direction to be a Geminid, NASA’s Bill Cooke told CNN. |
