I'm always blown away how quickly people worldwide can be analyzing an event thousands of kilometers away and producing useful analysis, no matter where they live relative to the event.
Interesting. From the picture, and the path length of 320 km we can estimate that the meteoroid impacted at a very shallow angle. Assuming that clouds only form below 50 km, then we get an upper limit on this angle of ~10 degrees.<p>asin(50./320.)<p>I wonder if some of the videos is complete enough as to calculate the speed.
Does anyone have a precise path of 2014-DA plotted on a map to see on which "line" it would hit the earth should it hit it?<p>I <i>know</i> it's not suppose to hit the earth but I'd like to know from which "side" the earth would be facing it at the moment it's going to be the closest.
