The meteor rain caused violent explosions in the lower atmosphere above the Chelyabinsk region, and some other regions in central Russia, e.g. Siberia around 9 a.m. local time (6 a.m. GMT). The blasts shattered windows of buildings, and slightly injured more than 500 people, wrote initially Russian agencies citing local witnesses.

Witnesses told Russia Today, that powerful explosions shook homes and mobile phones could not be used.

Video recordings posted by people on the Internet show meteors glowing in the sky at low altitude, and their path seemed to indicate a close collision with the ground. In another video, inhabitants, some of whom have left their houses half naked, observed the same phenomenon occurring over their homes, while explosions are heard.

“It was a meteor shower, but without significant fragments reaching the ground. A meteor exploded above the Chelyabinsk region. The blast broke windows in several areas,” said a spokesman for the local branch of the Ministry for Emergency Situations.

Asteroid to pass near Earth in record-breaking minimum distance approach will be observed today even with binoculars.

Asteroid 2012 DA14 is set to intersect Earth’s orbit on Friday without posing any danger of collision with the planet, according to orbital calculations.

DA14 2012 will be at the lowest approach to the Earth (27,700 kilometers), at 19.24:42 GMT, and is expected to be viewed with binoculars.

The distance is a record-breaking proximity for an object of this size flying by Earth.

“The asteroid’s composition is similar to that of Earth. It has a relatively small diameter, 30-40 meters. At 19 GMT 2012DA14 is due to be the minimum distance from us. A collision with an asteroid, as it happened on June 30, 1908, in Tunguska, Siberia is usually seen as a catastrophe,” experts said.
