Scientists explain why we’re just now learning about a giant meteor that exploded over Earth last year

According to NASA, an explosion 15 miles away from earth contained over 10 times the energy of Hiroshima.

A huge meteor exploded over the Bering Sea in December in the largest recorded event since a 2013 incident in Russia.

The explosion was recorded by government sensors on Dec. 18, according to a NASA tracker for fireballs. Fireballs are described by NASA as “exceptionally bright meteors that are spectacular enough to to be seen over a very wide area.”

The blast generated energy roughly equivalent to 173 kilotons of TNT, the agency said. According to MIT Technology Review, that’s about 10 times the energy generated by the atomic bomb used in Hiroshima in 1945.

“An event like this might occur two to three times a century,” Lindley Johnson, a planetary defense officer at NASA, told USA TODAY.

Johnson said this is the second-largest event they’ve seen in the last 30 years.

Is this a reach?
