The meteor that hit Russia had an origin--and now scientists are reconstructing the path it was on.. The interesting thing is that while the earth was watching the asteroid fly 17,000 miles by the planet, a meteor with many times the size of Hiroshima almost hit--and if it would have exploded closer to the ground or on the ground, there would have been an extinction event for millions of people.. Don't forget the nuclear plants and government facilities that exist near the city of Chelyabinsk--the media didn't care much and mostly made light of the situation. . . This time.
