Nextmanup Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 It's always amazing how small they can be while still generating enormous amounts of light. Shows you the speed and heat associated with these things. Let's just hope one the size of South America doesn't decide to slam into Earth. Who can forget this beauty? And if you haven't read about this, dig into it. This is cool stuff: : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 A meteor doesn't even have to strike the earth to cause damage. The burst caused by one burning up in the atmosphere, if it happens low enough, can wreak havoc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or walking in front of a 100 watt Marshall turned up to 10. That thing will CUT YOUR HEAD OFF. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably trying to take out Cleveland. Taking out Cleveland would earn the Canucks a national thank you from the U.S.. If they could get Toledo at the same time it would be icing on the cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
