Did you hear about the meteor that exploded in Russian skies?

Yeah, me and Paradox mentioned it in the chat yesterday afternoon. NASA says it's the biggest 'atmospheric event' (it wasn't a true impact, because it broke up) since the infamous Tunguska Event in 1908.

Also, today was the day that asteroid 2012 DA14 passed by Earth just 17,000 miles away.

Which is, interestingly enough, a complete coincidence. They passed by in opposite directions, though I can't remember which was heading north and which was heading south.
