Meteor explodes over Russia injuring over a thousand
A meteor exploded over western Siberia near Chelyabinsk injuring more than 1,000 people and shattering windows across about 3,000 buildings. NASA and ESA estimated the body weighed around 7,000 tons and released 300 to 500 kilotons of energy, with no link to a near Earth asteroid passage.
