The Russian meteor was not a meteor

That's right! Experts said that the Russian meteor that injured over 1200 yesterday had nothing to do with the approaching asteroid. Maybe they were right since NASA now says that the meteor was actually an asteroid itself!

The space agency says it was a 'tiny asteroid' that exploded , one that most likely originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter..

But even more about that: They say it most likely traveled for about a year before arriving and hitting earth. Traveling a year, incoming to the planet, and not being notice by a soul--hitting the same day a more tragic asteroid zipped by the planet...?

We should take information from NASA with a grain of salt. As we should with everyone..

I will admit that at first yesterday NASA stayed mostly silent about the meteor in Russia, leaving it to the European space agency to comment on it.. But now we find out that the meteor was an asteroid and it was 'tiny'..

So just imagine the 'big' asteroids not seen by amateur astronomers!? How much more damage they'd cause ... (And eventually will since it is all a matter of time)
