text: was there damage from the meteorite that struck norway on wednesday? also, this photo doesn't look like it was taken at night: http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1346411.ece  very interested to see more photos. the earth is bombarded with ~ 1000 metric tons of meteroite per day, so this is not an 'exceptional event' on a global basis.  remember that 70% of the earth is uninhabited and not under surveillance.  as to comparing it with 'hiroshima', this is a typical media exaggeration.  my calculations show that with a 100 kg meterorite traveling at 11000 m/s (the maximum speed it could attain coming from outer space), the energy would be about 1/14000th of the nuclear energy released from the conversion of 0.1 gram of uranium into energy by the einstein relationship e = mc^2
