Earth hit by Asteroid!

October 7th, 2008 by Stevie-poo

…but we’re all okay.

A small asteroid discovered earlier October 6 entered Earth’s atmosphere later that night. Friction with the air caused the object to explode with roughly a kiloton of energy, creating a spectacular fireball as it disintegrated. The object, designated 2008 TC3, was only 3 to 15 feet (1 to 5 meters) across and posed no threat to reach Earth’s surface or the altitude of airplanes.

So far there have been no reports of zombies, plagues, or Aerosmith in the area.
