Default 'Significant Thermal Explosion': Meteorite Strike in Russia Injures Hundreds

Default Asteroids and Comets

A recently published book called "Comets and the Horns of Moses" does a great job of explaining the history of comets and asteroids and their interaction with our planet. The book also provides evidence that major impact events are by no means "rare" in human history. It's a 'must read' for those who want to get up to speed on this increasingly important topic. Your life, or the life of a loved one, could depend on it!

Here's a link for those who are interested.
