A common myth about meteorites impacting Earth as a flaming missile, exploding in a massive fireball rocketing shrapnel pieces for miles around while blasting a huge crater in the ground is just that, a myth. While it’s possible for a large asteroid to hold it’s cosmic velocity all the way to the ground, most meteorites [...]

UPDATE: 10:57pm Feb 17th – Just finished watching the show tonight… I must say I’m quite disappointed. I really expected much more from the show than 500+ meteorites and the tiny 699 gram carbonaceous meteorite which is super rare and only the second one found outside of Antarctica. Hmmmph, that’s nothing… Anyone can find 500 [...]
