Imagine a house-sized asteroid coming for you out of nowhere. Now try to process that this actually happened.

On a gray morning in 2013, that asteroid exploded with an ear-shattering sonic boom over Chelyabinsk, Russia. This was not just a blip on astronomical radar. It released the energy of 440,00 tons of TNT, blasting windows and damaging buildings over 200 square miles and littering the city with shards of glass that injured over 1,600 people.
