Looks like a small meteoroid decided to spoil 2012 DA14's big day by exploding over Russia...

Needless to say the little unexpected meteor that could stole the show from its bigger sibling that was in the news for almost a year. At the rate new footage is coming out it is going to take days to sort through this.
Police have found a crater in Chebarkul Lake. Probably a fragment that survived the explosion. It seems inevitable that they'll retrieve it but that depends how fast it was still going when it hit the water. There's a photo of the crater on Phil's blog. http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2...rozen_lake.html |
