Re: [meteorite-list] How big was the Chelyabinsk meteoroid?
Hi Nick, I live in an old castle - not a very big one - and I guess: it's more or less this castle which began the fiery passage through the atmosphere: http://schloesserrundschau.de/bawue/schloesser/images/schloesser/biberach/biberach001.JPG Best regards Matthias - Original Message - From: "Nicholas Gessler, Ph.D." To: "Meteorite Central" Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 11:31 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] How big was the Chelyabinsk meteoroid? It might be hard to imagine what a 55-foot diameter ball or rock would look like.

The news kept screwing it up, saying it was ten tons. I keep having to explain to people that this thing was the size of a 5-6 story building! Literally a building falling from the sky. So cool.
