BREAKING NEWS: Meteorite Explodes Over Russian City, Hundreds Injured
A meteor or meteorite exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia this morning, reportedly injuring hundreds of people. As of right now, there are no confirmed deaths in the city of roughly 1 million people, but officials are still assessing the situation.The number of injuries so far varies from 100 to roughly 400, most caused by shattered window glass.
According to experts, the event is not connected with asteroid DA12, which is projected to pass within the orbit of geosynchronous satellites. That particular rock is, by all reliable accounts, expected to miss the Earth entirely later today.
“Iran joined the international dash for space in earnest on Monday [January 28 2013] when it claimed to have successfully launched a live monkey into space in an Iranian-built space capsule.
Iranian media reported that the country’s space agency had sent the creature 75 miles (120 km) above the Earth in a Kavoshgar rocket capsule named Pishgam (Pioneer). Though the report has yet to be independently verified, officials said the capsule had returned intact and the monkey was still alive after its sub-orbital experience. […]
Iran’s defence minister, General Ahmad Vahidi, described the launch as a “big step for our experts and scientists”. He said it was merely the initial phase of a broader Iranian plan to send humans into space by 2020.”
