As humans living on Earth, most days we're able to go about our lives without worrying about what might be lurking elsewhere in our solars system. Earth is incredibly fortunate to have a thick atmosphere that destroys most small debris before it reaches the ground and a magnetic field that protects us from dangerous radiation. It's all very nice down here on the surface... that is until an object manages to survive its trip through the atmosphere and cause a ruckus for us, Earthlings.
That's just what happened this week over Vermont, when a fireball — known to scientists as a bolide — streaked through the sky and exploded. The blast was significant, and reports from the ground indicate that the shockwave shook homes and businesses and even caused ground tremors that were strong enough to be picked up by seismic equipment in the area. Now, NASA offers us a more detailed look at the data and shows us how powerful the blast truly was.
