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

QUOTE (FordPrefect) ...it really looks like there are fireball/explosion-like segments visible inside the train still glowing? Yes! I noticed those "redder" areas in the initial videos and attributed them to redder light where the blue had been scattered by very small particles (a "sunset effect"). But later-presented and better quality photos do indeed show that the red is incandescent-- I was not expecting the heat to be retained that long, but it's only a very few seconds after the fireball had passed. --Bill -------------------- |
