Norway attacked from space

Story here, and also over here, and lots of other places, no doubt.

OSLO, Norway - June 9, 2006 (UPI) — A large meteorite struck in northern Norway this week, landing with an impact an astronomer compared to the atomic bomb used at Hiroshima.

The meteorite appeared as a ball of fire just after 2 a.m. Wednesday, visible across several hundred miles in the sunlit summer sky above the Arctic Circle, Aftenposten reported.

Peter Bruvold, a farmer, said he happened to be out in the fields with a camera because he was tending a foaling mare and he photographed the fireball.

Here’s a page with a photo of the impact site.

Cousin Chris sits with Nora, daughter to cousin Lisa. The shot was taken in a hospital room where grandma Ruth took her last breaths early Monday morning. A sad event, but a happy way to go, surrounded by grandchildren and great-grandchildren. More to follow on all of this later.
