A meteor exploded over Ohio and Pennsylvania
A very loud bang accompanied the disintegrating space rock. Although loud, little of the meteor is expected to have survived the atmospheric entry. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Residents across northeastern Ohio received a rude--or at least extremely unexpected--wake-up call this morning. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the loud boom experienced across the region around 9 a.m. EDT on March 17 was most likely the result of a meteor disintegrating as it sped through Earth's atmosphere.
