What time is that big one supposed to miss us today anyway?
-
What kind of Tsunami would that have caused if it hit in the water? if any? too small right?
-
Dam, I'm glad Russian drivers are so terrible they all have video cameras in their cars to catch such rare events for us to watch on the internets.

Pretty unreal...

Someone just lost something important, as to how what or why. who knows..time will tell.

Atmospheric entry lasted only about 10 seconds. That's way faster than anything in orbit. For something in orbit to reenter and hit the ground would take 12-15 minutes if not more.

I revise my observation, the more Videos i see the more it really looks like a Meteor.
They talking about this "thing" was about just 1-2 meters, ...really scary if you imagine what
a 100m big thing would look like.

The one in 1908 that knocked down millions of trees over an 820 square mile area,
was figured to have been only 150 feet wide, for a bit of perspective :aok
If something of that size had entered, we'd be talking today of many deaths instead of roughly 400 injured.
Today is gonna be a real close pass of not a small Meteorite, but a rather large Asteroid.
Not gonna even think of what would happen if that thing was gonna hit.

I hope Lusche,Chris3 and Debrody were not affected by said Meteor :old:
Shida,Danny and all of the Members of The GFC believe this is a sign from above :old:
The Gloster Meteor is long over due in the game :old:
-
Ahem.....if a meter hits the GROUND....it becomes a meteorITE!
-
I wonder if it was a piece of the one thats passing by today. :headscratch:
-
It's amazing to watch that dash cam video that shows it first appearing then moving across the sky. I always wondered what it would look like at the point of entry....it just appears from nothing and gets larger.
I wonder how large this thing was. Can't wait to hear more about it.
-
Yep, we are done for. This is exactly how many of the end-of-times movies begin.
-
Id be more worried about some trigger happy russian pushing a few launch buttons at the time of the flash/blast simply because of this reason
"The area around Chelyabinsk is also home to “dozens of defense factories, including nuclear factories and those involved in production of thermonuclear weapons,” said Vladimir Lipunov, an astrophysicist at the Shternberg State Astronomy Institute."
We got lucky one of their old defense computers didnt detect this as an attack and decide to launch a retaliatory strike on its own
-
I read somewhere I think that today's meteor, the one that is the size of a swimming pool, is only missing an impact with earth by 14 minutes of earth orbit around the sun. :noid
I gather it will be invisible to the naked eye, but that it is passing within the orbit of our higher satellites.

http://www.spaceweather.com/ is down :noid

Scratch that, found my answer....cut from a USA Today artical
"The Earth travels about a million miles in a day and these are two events separated by almost 24 hours, so it is unlikely they are connected," says asteroid expert Richard Binzel of MIT. Meteors the size of the Russian one hit Earth every few years, Binzel says, but land near inhabited places much less often. "We just have the incredible coincidence of this happening just before the asteroid flies by," Binzel says.
Further, the Russian meteor landed in the Northern hemisphere while Asteroid 2012 DA14 is approaching from the direction of the South Pole, arguing against a connection.

Alot of "random" events latly imo, the lightning striking the Vatican the day the Pope resigned comes to mind.

The vatican dome gets lightning strikes probably on every thunderstorm. It just made a nice headline this time.

spaceweather is back on line again. NOW prepare your self's for the DA14. In a few hours

Random events segregate non-randomly
-
When I saw the videos. I was jealous. How come the damm Russians get all the interesting stuff? Now I'm furiously touching wood because the last time I said something like that. I paid for it. Made some crack that we never get a serious thunderstorm here in Ireland. As I lay under my bed begging God to make it stop later that night. I somewhat regretted my rashness.
So leave it to the Russians and their dash cams.
Look to the skies!

This is just the beginning...

NASA is saying it was an asteroid about 50ft across, kicked out of the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, probably was sent on its course that ended at Earth today for about a year, traveling at a speed of 40,000 kph. Detonated 12-15 miles up with the force of a 0.3 megaton bomb.
Came in with an unusually shallow trajectory, just like you see in all the movies. Usually they're supposed to come in straight down more or less, and the movie version where it streaks across the sky is supposed to be a rarity. I'm starting to think they could be mistaken on that point, because all the meteor movies are cross-sky streaks. Granted those are easier to capture on film too.
The noise of the detonation in the YouTube videos is pretty spectacular. I like this one, wish he'd hold the camera sideways though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=Np_mpGYSBSA . It would be easy to think that you just got nuked, though I'd imagine an ICBM contrail would look different I suppose.

Dang, must've been an amazing/scary experience to witness first hand. Wish I was there. :eek:

Wonder what it would of been like if it would of exploded only 1 mile above the surface?
Another question.....if the above would of happened with the estimated force of 300kt, would the russian defense system see that as an atomic weapon detonation and self-launch a counterstrike since it happened at nuclear defense site?

They should nuke Mars as an example.

Let's see...Earth near-miss by a 150 feet asteroid...Meteor explosion injures 1000 and damages buildings in Russia....fireball sighted over San Fransisco...and now an exploding fireball over Havana, Cuba...all in the same day.
Hmmm..... :headscratch:

Suspected meteor explosion reported in central Cuba
HAVANA, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- An object fell from the sky over central Cuba on Thursday night and turned into a fireball "bigger than the sun" before it exploded, a Cuban TV channel reported Friday, citing eyewitnesses.
Some residents in the central province of Cienfuegos were quoted as saying that at around 8 p.m. local time Thursday (0100 GMT Friday) they saw a bright spot in the sky comparable to a bus in size.
The object then turned into a fireball "bigger than the sun," said the witnesses, adding that several minutes later they heard a loud explosion.
One resident told the TV station that his house shook slightly in the blast.
Cuban experts have been dispatched to the area to look for possible remains of the meteor-like object, said the report.
It remains unknown whether the reported phenomenon in Cuba is related to Friday's meteor strike in central Russia, which set off a shockwave that shattered windows and left some 1,000 people injured.

The only good bug, is a DEAD bug!

If nobody has corrected this, let me be the first to do so.
*Meteorite.
Meteors burn up in the atmosphere, meteorites hit the ground.
-
And a meteor that buries itself into the ground and liquifies is called a magmeorite.
At least read the thread before posting a "correction" that you assume, incorrectly, is needed.
Anyways, NASA is upgrading their estimated size to around 60 feet and the explosion energy to about 500 kilotons. I just read a story about a teacher that pulled the old cold war duck and cover instructions to her students, her students were unscathed as the shock wave blew out the windows of her classroom, while she was badly cut up. Apparently duck and cover still has value, yeah if you're near the blast you're screwed, but if you're in the periphery it could save you from injury.

New estimates put it at 10,000 tons,55 ft diameter. About 500 kiloton explosive force. JPL says this is from the ground sensor data they put together.

Amazing how many Russians are using dash cams recording every step; this was the best meteor ever recorded thx to this toys.

It's for insurance reasons due to the extremely high frequency of car accidents in Russia. There are lots of videos of people trying fake being rear-ended and being foiled by the dash cam
It's becoming more common in the US as well

Not as frequent as you might think actually. Its just Russia is known for amount of scams and pure idiocy. Here is one of them, explains the reason for famous Russian roads.
