But late Friday, NASA revised its estimates on the size and power of the devastating meteor explosion. The meteor’s size is now thought to be slightly larger – about 55 feet (17 m) wide – with the power of the blast estimate of about 500 kilotons, 30 kilotons higher than before, NASA officials said in a statement.

The meteor was also substantially more massive than thought as well. Initial estimated pegged the space rock’s mass at about 7,000 tons. Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., now say the meteor weighed about 10,000 tons and was travelling 40,000 mph (64,373 km/h) when it exploded.
“These new estimates were generated using new data that had been collected by five additional infrasound stations located around the world – the first recording of the event being in Alaska, over 6,500 kilometers away from Chelyabinsk,” JPL officials explained in the statement. The infrasound stations detect low-frequency sound waves that accompany exploding meteors, known as bolides.
This was pretty nasty,hey it could have been worse right.I just hope there aren’t larger meteor’s on the way.

When is NASA going to start releasing data found by its RBSP Van Allen Belt probes? The European Space Agency (ESA) has been more forthcoming with its satellite data. ESA says the earth has become blanketed by a veil of explosive ionized plasma 60,000 miles thick, and has admitted the seriousness of this development. Yet NASA continues to remain mute about it.
