Meteor Caught On Camera In Russia

Russia experienced quite the meteor shower today. Around 100 400 people have been injured, schools have been evacuated, and people have been warned to keep inside.

The meteors fell over the Chelyabinsk region in the Ural Mountains on the morning of Friday, February 15.

“One eyewitness Gulnara Dudka, in her 20s, gave a dramatic account of the meteorite, telling how she feared ‘doomsday’ had arrived, reported the Siberian Times.” –Meteorite shower hits Russia…, The Daily Mail

Doomsday, indeed! Somebody better call the Meteor Police.

And remember, kids: A meteor is an object from space that hits/enters the Earth’s atmosphere. A meteorite, on the other hand, is an object that survives the burning trip through the atmosphere and makes it to the ground. Just FYI.
