The area around Chelyabinsk is also home to “dozens of defense factories, including nuclear factories and those involved in production of thermonuclear weapons,” said Vladimir Lipunov, an astrophysicist at the Shternberg State Astronomy Institute.

S. Urals meteorite linked to asteroid: Voice of Russia

Astronomers at the Pulkovo Observatory outside St Petersburg say they believe the meteorite that crashed into the South Urals this morning was linked to the approach of the 2012DA14 asteroid, which is to make a close shave with the Earth at a distance of just 27,000 kilometers tonight.

:damn:

Scientists from the Russian Academy of Science believe the meteorite could be an "advance guard" of the asteroid 2012 DA14, which is expected to bypass the Earth at an uncomfortably close distance of 27,000 km at 23:25 p.m. Moscow time (1925 GMT) on Friday.

Wow pretty amazing. Good thing most of Russia is rural and wilderness. Imagine if an asteroid landed in America, South America or Europe.

It's closest approach is expected at 11:25am Pacific time, it won't be visible in North America though since it's daylight and even then it would still require a telescope as it appears fainter than most stars

There is a live stream of it
