Meteorites falling from the sky in Russia.

[estebii.cho]

The Russian Academy of Sciences has estimated that the meteorite weighed about 10 tons and entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of at least 33,000 mph, shattering about 18-32 miles above ground.

Damn nature you scary.

[jewseejay]

It was moving at 33k mph I doubt they shot it down... Also only 10 tons

You can check out Phil Plait's twitter for a lot of good insight.

@BadAstronomer

He's got some good insight and updates. Good thing it landed in a frozen lake

I'm no physicist but it said that it ENTERED the earth's atmosphere at 33k... It should be slowed significantly by the time it reached our lower atmosphere to where they would have shot anything at it.

Beautiful to look at while it's in the sky, not the impact and results of it.

So NASA didnt warn anybody about this?! No sirens or alerts? What the heck is all that money going to?

If they thought it was something to pay attention to then they probably knew it was gonna land in Vlady's back yard weeks ago.
