First ground-based evidence of 2008 TC3's meteoric fall

Last month, 2008 TC3 became the first asteroid to hit the Earth after astronomers had predicted it would. Of course, it was small enough (6-10 feet) that it is believed to have mostly burned up in the atmosphere. Indirect evidence of this meteoric fireball was caught by an infrasound microphone in Kenya, a security camera in Egypt, a weather satellite, and an airline pilot. Now, we have images from Sudan of the smoke trail. For the full story, click here.
