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

Do you have any references for the heat perceptions? I would be quite surprised by that given the altitude of the detonation plus slant range(s).
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I don't have links myself, but I do recall reading reports that mentioned that people felt heat coming through the windows. One person mentioned that curiosity over this unusual heat was what attracted them outside before the shockwave hit. If the fireball was indeed as bright as the sun or brighter, as seems to be the case, then the infrared radiation should be roughly in proportion, so I would not be surprised if there was a short burst of heat when the main explosion happened. |
