Rock from Space
Did a blast from space like Tunguska shape the solar system and our primeval Earth? This infographic courtesy of Karl Tate and SPACE.com, as well as the Russian Emergency Ministry photos, gives us fascinating information on the meteor explosion in Russia in February 2013, which injured more than 1,000 people and shattered glass and buildings in populated areas.
The "rock from space" that exploded in Siberia in 1908 was the largest meteor blast recorded.
Was it something like this that wiped out the dinosaurs and changed the course of the Earth before man appeared? CREDIT: YouTube
Is there an infographic you'd like to see? Please let me know and I'll put something together or find one for you, with my comments.
Please understand my comments are simply my opinion, unless backed up by irrefutable fact. Yours are just as valid and just as important to me. Please feel free to comment on any post.
Thank you to my Russian readers for your generosity of spirit and your readership over the past few months. That is important to me.

RUSSIAN FIREBALL REVISITED

Space Oddity Revisited
Space Oddities and Curious Lack of Warning
Steve would have had something interesting and unique to say about this. He was interested in space, science, hard science fiction, robots, and the news, which he took with a grain of the proverbial salt. As do I, but for what it's worth...
See previous blog about meteorite crashing in Russia
I'm revisiting my blog on the space oddity reported on February 15, 2013.- Since I posted on my blog about a meteorite over Russia, someone advised me there was a second meteorite. She thought the second had also landed in Russia, but when I researched it, I found it had blazed over Cuba two hours before the Russian meteorite landed.
Two Meteors
- So there were two meteors, one over Cuba and two hours later, another over Russia.
- Seems odd. Here's a link to this news, which occurred on February 15, 2013, not breaking news anymore, but it's disturbing.
Meteor passes over California
- A meteor also raced across California on Feb. 15, 2013.
Asteroid the size of a football field passed close to Earth Saturday
- I'm wondering if these events were related to the asteroid which passed close to Earth on Saturday? I'll research it some more.
- The Telegraph reports today, on April, 9 2013, that an asteroid "the size of a football field" passed within 600,000 miles of earth on Saturday, April 6, 2013. It was too small to be seen by the naked eye.
- "Astronomers working on the Slooh Space Camera in the Canary Islands captured images of the asteroid as it passed overhead on Saturday. The object came within 600,000 miles of the Earth."
Earth had a very close call and we weren't warned?
It seems to me that Earth had a close call, scientists didn't know what to do about it, and so we weren't warned...?????
- Asteroid Apophis is named after a mythological Egyptian demon.
- It'll come back, in 2036, and at that time could collide with Earth.
