| Chelyabinsk Meteor Size Comparison (Chart by Tobias1984) |
What remains is a telltale black-and-blue
mark on the red planet’s surface. Scientists
are quite familiar with the red,
but not so sure about the black
or blue. Some think that
these darker hues could indicate the
presence of “exposed ice.”
Although
the asteroid was likely less
than five feet across, its impact was
far greater than it would have been
on Earth. Earth’s atmosphere would
probably have shattered it before
ground level was reached.
