About 13 weeks ago Russian meteor blast more powerful than originally thought

+NBC News : A meteor that slammed into Russian airspace Friday is now believed to have been even more powerful than scientists originally thought.

New estimates obtained through a network used to detect nuclear blasts show the meteor had the energy equivalent of nearly 500 kilotons of TNT, which is 30 times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. 

"We would expect an event of this magnitude to occur once every 100 years on average," Paul Chodas of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office said in a statement.

About 1 week ago Cicadas rise from the ground on the U.S. East Coast

After spending 17 years underground, cicadas began crawling from the ground today on the US East Coast. The emergence of these flying bugs is in its earliest stage, with billions expected to swarm by the end of the month.

The cicadas emerge to remove their shells and mate.

Though the bugs are mostly harmless, the swarm’s 90-decibel buzz can be an annoyance. The swarm typically lasts four to six weeks beginning in the Carolinas and moving north toward Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York.
