On this date 100 years ago, there was a "shot heard 'round the world."
A drifting piece of space junk (we're talking natural "junk" here, because the space age hadn't started yet) wandered into our atmosphere and exploded over the Siberian tundra.
I won't write much more about it. I suggest heading over to Bad Astronomy to read what Dr. Plait has to say.
And you know what? It will happen again. We just don't know when. (hey, that rhymes!)
