An asteroid entered the earth’s atmosphere and exploded over Indoneisa in early October ’09, but it’s only this past couple weeks that it’s been getting attention in the Western media. The following amateur video of the Indoneisa asteroid explosion was aired by several local TV news stations in the area.

An asteroid that exploded in the Earths atmosphere with the energy of three Hiroshima bombs this month has reignited fears about our planets defences against space impacts. Luckily, due to the height of the explosion, estimated at between 15 and 20 km (nine to 12 miles) above sea level, no damage was caused on the ground.
