For the residents of the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, the morning of Friday, February 15, 2013 began like any other. As they set off to work in what has become a craze throughout Russia, many recorded their journeys, but these cameras usually used for capturing minor 1 traffic incident, were about to record history.
A fireball, brighter than the sun, appeared from nowhere. Before it's exploding with the power of 30 Hiroshimas. A minute later, a shockwave blew in the window of 4,000 buildings across the region. The broken glass are accounting 2 for most of the 1,200 injured.
The people of Chelyabinsk have just experienced the most meteor strike for more than a century.
The meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk is a spectacular reminder 3 of how exposed our world is. And our earth is just a tiny planet in the vast, violent cosmos 4. It's also a reminder of powerful impact that these alien rocks can have on the fate of our planet and on us.
