now it's famous as the place where heaven and earth met with a bang, anthony. >> mason: mark phillips, thanks, mark. derrick pitts is chief astronomer at the franklin institute in philadelphia. derrick, what caused this huge explosion and sonic boom that's associated with this meteor? and why did it cause so much damage over such a wide area? >> reporter: anthony, this meteor was coming into the earth's atmosphere at 40,000 miles per hour. as it comes into the atmosphere, it has to dissipate that energy somehow and the dissipation goes into heating the air around it as it plunges in. but it also goes into breaking up the meteor, so it breaks up into smaller pieces. that helps to dissipate the energy. the reason why it was spread over such a large area is because the measurement on the contrail behind it is about 300 miles long. this is essentially skipping into the atmosphere so it's going to create a shock wave, like a sonic boom, that rolls along the surface of the planet for quite some distance, that would create the damage over such a wide area. >> mason: there was another close e
