Possible Seismic Activity on Asteroid 2012 DA14 Feb. 14, 2013: For eons, Earth has felt the tremors of asteroids striking our planet. From the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago to the felled forests around Tunguska in 1908, the space rocks keep coming. This week, Earth strikes back. When asteroid 2014 DA14 makes a record close approach to our planet on Feb. 15th, the space rock could be the one feeling tremors. New research by Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary science at MIT, suggests that many near-Earth asteroids experience a seismic jolt when they pass too close to our planet’s gravitational field. "We are going to be looking closely for evidence of seismic activity on 2014 DA14 as it passes by," says Binzel. "This is the first case of an object coming close enough to experience quakes AND where we have enough notice to plan observations.

Let's see if there are more: Meteorite crash in Russia: UFO fears spark panic in the Urals Published: 15 February, 2013, 08:36 A series of explosions in the skies of Russia’s Urals region, reportedly caused by a meteorite shower, has sparked panic in three major cities. Witnesses said that houses shuddered, windows were blown out and cellphones have stopped working. According to unconfirmed reports, the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. A missile salvo reportedly blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers. ...It is believed that the incident may be connected to asteroid 2012 DA14, which measures 45 to 95 meters in diameter and will be passing by Earth tonight at around 19:25 GMT at the record close range of 27,000 kilometers. http://rt.com/news/meteorite-crash-urals-chelyabinsk-283/ |

Apparantly Cuba had one earlier this week, too. No damage or injuries = no major media coverage till now. Cuba, too, reports powerful meteorite explosion http://bigstory.ap.org/article/cuba-too-reports-powerful-meteorite-explosion |

And then there's this: West of the city, authorities sealed off a section of a frozen lake where it was believed a sizable meteorite crashed through the ice. But a team of divers has found no trace of any meteorite in the lake, an emergencies ministry spokeswoman told state media on Saturday. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/16/world/europe/russia-meteor-shower/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 If there is no fragment in the lake, then what made this hole? Very interesting! ![]() |
