Was pretty phenominal event, Charles. I find it funny, kinda, the way the explosion is compared to Hiroshima. How many times greater the force was. But, no one died! That's not really simmilar at all. But I guess it exploded much higher in sky then the first A-bomb, and no radiation effects both immediate, post, or long lasting. Just an explosive force alone.
It did get me wondering what's the difference between an asteroid and a meteor. Turns out, pretty much any non-planet/moon type rock in space going around the Sun is an asteroid. It's when it eneter's Earth's atmosphere it's termed meteor, meteorite, meteoroid. Now, the one that supposedly took out the dinosaurs, that was much bigger than a bus! But objects from space enter our atmosphere all the time, very common. Just not reletively large objects, those are rather uncommon.
Really makes you go humm, don't it.Tony
