Explosion in space

Wow. When streetlight sensors switch the lights off, you can bet it was bright enough to count as daylight.

Wow, that was a bright flash. I've once witnessed a rather large bolide but nothing of that magnitude.

Watch the video clip again and watch for the shadows being cast when the explosion reaches it's brightest level. When you see that it really gives you an idea of the brightness.

When I saw that last clip, my first thought was of Bert the Turtle.

Duck and Cover!
