Did you notice it ?

I didn't.
I guess such a huge explosion should have send soundwave around the world or most of it.

It also tells me that one day we probably are going to be hit by a meteor we didn't see coming.

I saw the video's of this event. Pretty spectacular unless it landed on your house.

With all the meteorites and asteroids about, I'm surprised there aren't more events like this.

Our own moon is pretty beat up from meteorites and such and probably just as happy that it's space is relatively calm.

Try to imagine what could have happened if it first exploded after entering our atmosphere and above a big city.

Which it thankfully didn't

Speaking of the moon ... Does anyone know the last time a meteor hit the moon on the side we can see or on the dark side?

I would think that too could cause a disturbance in the force as they say in 'Star Wars' movies.

The destruction would be epic, Markus. I saw a science show and although I don't remember the exact number, it was said that a large asteroid exploding in our environment would release destructive energy the equivalent of the Nagasaki bomb x 100, at the very least. That's scary.

I remember from astronomy that the dark side remains hidden from Earth but not supposed to be as badly damaged, I think. The lads from Pink Floyd say that the " Dark side of the Moon " is way far out and groovy. Surely, the force would approve.

2 hits on the moon were spotted by a telescope last July,2018. Though neither were huge, the flashes from the explosions as they hit could be seen. Takes a bit for the gif to load, but it clearly shows them .

Haven't I read somewhere that the Chinese have or are planning to land on the dark side?

I read this news story as well. I'm not sure if they plan to send a robot or actually send people.

They already landed on january, 2nd this year.

Maybe they have a moonbase when the US have built the wall

If my memory don't play tricks with me

I seems to remember Dowly made a thread about this landing on the backside of the moon.

Furthermore.

In my first thread I wrote
"I guess such a huge explosion should have send soundwave around the world or most of it."

Been rethinking a little

This explosion happened above the earth/atmosphere so it's almost impossible that we or someone could have heard it
