Meteor(ite)s & Asteroids thread

A meteor crashing in Russia’s Ural mountains has injured at least 950 people, as the shockwave blew out windows and rocked buildings.
Most of those hurt, in the Chelyabinsk region where the meteor fell, suffered cuts and bruises but at least 46 remain in hospital.
A fireball streaked through the clear morning sky, followed by loud bangs.
President Vladimir Putin said he thanked God no big fragments had fallen in populated areas.

NASA refused to comet themselves regarding the asteroid hitting us this evening!

Meteor over Poznan tonight.

Are they sure it wasn’t a stray Iranian missile?

This is no time for giggles

Did everyone turn their back to it?

It’ll just burn up in the atmosphere and become a rock the size of a Chihuahua’s head

It’s not much bigger as it is, now

The mere fact that we are tracking asteroids less than 7 feet wide is great news.

It’s alright lads. I’ve got it sorted.

Anyone else see this last night? Couldn’t get the phone out in time. Burned out pretty quickly
