Rocks from space news!
Just a quickie to pass on some news (brought to my attention by Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy blog: follow it!)
- Earlier this week a meteor was spotted over the skies of Germany and the Netherlands. More info here (this post also contains news of man-made space debris falling through someone's roof!)
- On September 25 a bright fireball passed over Ontario, Canada. Bits broke off it and broke someone's car windscreen! More info here.
Some relevant Blogstronomy posts:
- What causes meteor showers?
- What is the liklihood of a 'catastrophe sized' asteroid colliding with the Earth?
Have a question about this topic? Comment below! Got an astronomy related question of your own? Ask it here.
Cool!
