Nasa reveals grim power of meteor which hit us and exploded with force of a nuke

Nasa has released pictures of a meteor impact which demonstrates the frightening vulnerability of Planet Earth.

The space agency’s new images show the shadow of the meteor’s trail as well as the orange cloud it left behind. ‘The explosion unleashed an estimated 173 kilotons of energy, or more than 10 times the energy of the atomic bomb blast over Hiroshima during World War II.’Nasa said the object ‘was the most powerful meteor to be observed since 2013’ but ‘given its altitude and the remote area over which it occurred, the object posed no threat to anyone on the ground’.

It’s the biggest blast since an asteroid exploded over Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013 – and Nasa says fireballs this large are only expected two or three times a century.
