    I don’t *think* this meteor is related to #2012DA14; a solid 12+ hours ahead; DA14 is still pretty far out. Coincidence?

        @landonnoll @BadAstronomer Russian news just said it's only 4 hours ahead. Lost in translation?

      @BadAstronomer C'mon CNN stop talking about the cruise ship and talk about real news like the meteor.

      @BadAstronomer I haven't calculated the asteroid's gravitational force yet, or googled it. Are there estimates?

      @BadAstronomer maybe a batch of meteorites being precursor to #DA14 and probable some afterwards.. #2012

      @BadAstronomer that was going to be my question. Could smaller ancillary meteors be around this asteroid?

      @BadAstronomer Perhaps this meteor is debris/fragments preceding the asteroid?

      @BadAstronomer "I don’t *think* this meteor is related to #2012DA14;" So Phil, is this a stray piece (more to come)? How do you know?

      @BadAstronomer No, NASA just forgot to synchronize its atomic clock.

      @BadAstronomer I'm thinking it is related but was too small to detect earlier. Hoping it didn't travel with friends.

      @BadAstronomer It's not coincidence it's because of Global Warming.

      @BadAstronomer I wonder if they're being pushed at us by the asteroid's gravity? Carried in on its wave, as it were, like floating detritus?
