Just now getting around to reading last month's issue of National Geographic, but it's a good thing I got to it yesterday rather than tomorrow -- because today's the day I talk about comets, asteroids, and meteors in Physical Geology class, and one of the topics that people always love to talk about is what happens when those big dumb space chunks smack into Earth.



The article's a good read, and illustrated with magnificent images, like this classic 1972 image of a fireball over Jackson Lake, Wyoming. That's the Tetons in the background. Check it out.
