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

I read about that and it is a well-known burning natural gas methane seep in Russia. After I rolled my eyeballs back down, I looked it up but don't seem to have Bookmarked it. I'll look it up and post more. The video that I saw in another site has been removed by the user, but I applied my Google-Fu and found that it is a burning natural gas seep in Derweze (Darvaza) Turkmenistan known as "The Door to Hell". Google "door to hell derweze turkmenistan" for more info than we all need to know... Wiki link at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_to_Hell which mentions "A short video of the Door to Hell has been circulating on the internet, falsely identified as the impact site for the 2013 Russian meteor event." --Bill -------------------- |
