Rain of meteorites cause damage to several houses in the State of Maharashtra (India).Several houses were damaged as a result of a meteor shower in the region of Karol.

A team of scientists from the Centre for Astronomy Akash Ganga was launched from Bombay to move into the area, but failed to leave early because they had to wait for confirmation of their tickets. Scientists are expected to remain three days in the area to investigate this incident.

Earth Meteorite flies only 14 000 kilometers higher than the Earth's outside

Recently, a newly discovered meteorite, 2012 KT42, flew past Earth at only 14,000 miles above the surface of our planet, so flying within the belt of geosynchronous satellites.

According to the orbit of this asteroid, fortunately there was no danger of collision, despite its proximity to Earth.

Moreover, in any case, due to its small size would probably have disintegrated upon entering our atmosphere.

Higher than Earth Asteroid

The recent past, the asteroid 2012 KP24, flew past Earth at only a tenth of the distance of the Moon.

This asteroid, discovered recently, passed over our planet early on May 28, 2012, about 350,000 miles.

According to NASA, there was not any danger of collision with Earth, but it was an ideal time for many astronomers and amateurs, who missed the opportunity to photograph this large rock, estimated was about 26 meters.
