Already at 18. December 2018, shortly before midnight, the space boulder exploded, according to the US Space Agency Nasa on the between Alaska and Russia, the nearby Bering sea.
The Astro physicist Peter Brown of the University of Western Ontario, demonstrated the Meteor through the analysis of data from the world research stations. On images of the Japanese weather satellite Himawari-8 is a photo of the fire-smoke low-going meteor was finally even, like the British magazine “New Scientist” reported online.
The ball of fire, probably had the energy since the Meteor of Chelyabinsk, Packed, wrote Brown on Twitter. The chunks that exploded in February 2013 over the Russian city in the Urals, is considered to be the largest All-Rock of the past 100 years, occurring in the earth’s atmosphere. The bright flashing ball of fire, with its highly visible smoke trail in the sky has on several occasions been accidentally filmed. In addition, were damaged by the pressure wave of the Explosion around 7000 buildings, about 1500 people injured.
In the case of the meteor above the Bering sea, nobody seemed to have the Explosion or the event perceived. Evidence was Brown but in the data of a plurality of world-space-observation stations. Also, so-called Infrasound-a knife should feel in the Cold war, atomic explosions, the Explosion caused by sound waves in the low frequency range recorded.
according to The calculations, the rock had reported a diameter of ten meters and a mass of 1400 tons, Brown. At the time of its Explosion, he had put according to Nasa data, an energy, which corresponds to 173 kilos of tons of the explosive TNT – roughly ten times the atomic bomb that was dropped in 1945 on Hiroshima.
