Meteor Strike over Russia: Was it the first?
On Feb 15 early morning, a meteor shot over the sky over Russia’s Ural Mountain extend. The fireball detonated close to Chelyabinsk, harming many individuals, making a sonic blast and harming several structures and making wounds a huge number of individuals. The wounds were for the most part from the falling glass and other structure material dismantled by the gigantic sonic blast brought about by quick moving meteor speeding dangerously fast of around 66,000 miles for each hour.
The planning of meteor strike was practically unusual as individuals were trusting that another Asteroid will pass by earth around the same time. It was 2012 DA14 which should pass very close(17,100 miles) to the outside of earth. It to be sure breathed easy same day however all the exposure was moved to the meteor which frightened the inhabitants of this little Russian city and the world. Nobody was discussing DA14 any longer. As indicated by stargazers this sort of occasion happens just a single time in hundred years making it a once in a blue moon appear for the individuals who figured out how to watch it live.
The meteor which dashed over the Urals heaps of focal Russia was imaged by Meteosat-9, at the edge of the satellite’s scene. Several individuals were harmed as the meteor’s enormous sonic blast caused across the board shake-up Image taken Feb. 15, 2013, 3:15 UTC.

So as we said over, this sort of marvel happens just a single time in century. So when was the last time it was recorded? At 7:14 a.m. on June 30, 1908, a mammoth blast shook focal Siberia. Witnesses near the occasion depicted seeing a mammoth fireball in the sky, as brilliant and sweltering as sun. A huge number of trees fell and the ground shook. The blast leveled an expected 80 million trees over a 830 square-mile territory in a spiral example from the impact zone. This occasion, later known as Tunguska Event, caused a blast accepted to have been brought about by the air explosion of an enormous meteoroid or comet piece at an elevation of 5–10 kilometers (3–6 mi) over the Earth’s surface.
Tunguska occasion was the greatest fleeting effect occasion to be recorded in current history. However, there have been such occasions in the Earth’s history which have been a large number of time more enormous than this occasion. Tungusuka meteor or the present meteor strike detonated noticeable all around itself and didn’t figure out how to come to the ground(which would have been calamitous). In any case, in the past there have been monstrous strikes which have shaped colossal cavities on Earth’s surface. Satellite pictures have had the option to catch these locales spread world in the entirety of their wonder. The following are a portion of the satellite pictures of the pits the world over:

This Landsat scene shows a brief look at the Manicouagan Impact Structure in Quebec, Canada. Lake Manicouagan and Lake Mushalagan encompass the focal elevate of the pit. The first width of the pit was 62 miles (100 kilometers), and the age has been dated at 214 million years. Shattercones (striated highlights found in rocks distorted by the section of stun waves), alongside broke and brecciated rocks found in the focal elevate, affirm the hole’s effect source. A few frigid advances have scoured the pit to its current structure. It has been suggested that the effect was made by a space rock with a distance across of about 3.1 miles (5 kilometers).
