Nextmanup Posted November 20, 2022 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
PromoTheRobot Posted November 20, 2022 Author 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

Or walking in front of a 100 watt Marshall turned up to 10. That thing will CUT YOUR HEAD OFF. 😂 Quote
