If you were looking up at the Moon on March 17, 2013 at 03:50:55 UTC, you might have seen one of the brightest “lunar flashes” ever witnessed. And it would have been visible with just the naked eye. “On March 17, 2013, an object about the size of a small boulder hit the lunar surface in Mare Imbrium,” says Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. “It exploded in a flash nearly 10 times as bright as anything we’ve ever seen before.” The scientists estimate that the flash came from a 40 kg meteoroid measuring 0.3 to 0.4 meters wide hitting the Moon, likely traveling about 90,000 km/hr (56,000 mph.) The resulting Explosion packed as much punch as 5 tons of TNT. added by: joeeddy 1 comment ...

Experts at the Russian Academy of Sciences told The Washington Post that the space-borne object may have been about 10 tons and was likely moving at an astonishing 10 to 12 miles per second. The Meteor may have exploded under the pressure of its own weight and speed, a U.S. scientist told the Associated Press.Several amateur videos purportedly caught the event on camera, including the Explosion, which must have been terrifying. A number of videos were taken by the dashboard cams that are common in Russian cars. “I looked out the window and saw a huge line of smoke, like you get from a plane but many times larger,” a local witness told BBC News. “A few minutes later the window suddenly came open and there was a huge Explosion, followed by lots of small explosions. It felt like a war zone and it lasted about 20 to 30 minutes.” ...

METEOR EXPLOSION OVER ARGENTINA

It seems this year is to be the year of epic close encounters of the space debris kind. In February we watched in awe as a Meteor exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, shattering windows for miles in all directions with its sonic boom. This month, on April 21, the night sky over eight provinces in Argentina was illuminated by the light of a giant fireball as another Meteor entered the Earth’s atmosphere and exploded. The flash of light was only seconds in length, but was bright enough to be seen across the country with residents in Santiago del Estero stating that they could feel the ground rumble beneath their feet in its wake. An Argentinean Meteor expert told Red Orbit that the Meteor in question was entering the Earth’s upper atmosphere at approximately 80,000 mph. Jorge Coghlan, director of the Santa Fe Astronomical Observatory in Argentina, added in a radio interview with a local Argentina station that the piece of space dust measured between nine and eighteen inches in diameter and exploded about forty miles over the Earth. Coghlan is urging people to be skeptical, however, of many of the videos posted on YouTube, with the exception of surveillance videos and images captured by the concert attendees directly under the Explosion. In the video below the band Los Tekis was performing in Salta, Argentina at the Zamba Festival when the Explosion occurred. Matías Díaz, who filmed the event, stated on the band’s website , “People de ...

The recent near-Earth flyby of an asteroid and the Explosion of a Meteor over Russia and one above California's Sierra foothills remind us that space can be a dangerous place. To help keep us safe, scientists at UCLA and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are devising new ways to track space objects, and UC Davis geologists are studying the composition of the remains of the Meteor that hit Northern California: http://owl.li/kqyve ...
