It glows bright for a second, leaving a trail of smoke that <a href=\"https:\/\/vk.com\/video-727032_456239749\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lingers for several minutes afterwards<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of the meteor with Earth&#039;s atmosphere was picked up by US government sensors used to detect nuclear explosions, among other things. <a href=\"https:\/\/cneos.jpl.nasa.gov\/fireballs\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">NASA estimates<\/a> the resulting explosion packed a punch of about 2.8 kilotons, which pales compared with the 440 kiloton blast over Chelyabinsk in 2013, but is the most explosive asteroid entry measured so far in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>There have been no reports of damage from the blast, but some eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud sonic boom, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.net\/daytime-fireball-over-russia-on-june-21\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">International Meteor Organization<\/a>. It can also be seen in footage from a weather satellite upon close examination:<\/p>\n<p>NASA estimates the meteor was moving at about 32,200 miles per hour (51,800 kilometers per hour) when it exploded about 16.7 miles (27 kilometers) above the surface of the planet. <\/p>\n<p>Fireballs are a relatively regular occurrence, often coinciding with meteor showers. The Chelyabinsk fireball from 2013 was by far the most powerful such event recorded in the last 30 years, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/russia-lake-cheko-study-tunguska-event-meteorite-x-files\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">an even more powerful impact is thought to have happened in Siberia in 1908<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So why always Russia? Actually, fireballs are seen around the world, but since Russia covers about an eighth of the globe&#039;s total land mass, it just makes mathematical sense they&#039;re more likely to be seen there. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than five years after a large space rock slammed into the atmosphere over Russia, shattering th..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
