The meteorite shower over central Russia that
injured some 1,000 people had no connection to an asteroid passing
close to Earth on Friday, the US space agency NASA said.
"According to NASA scientists, the trajectory of the Russian
meteorite was significantly different than the trajectory of the
asteroid 2012 DA14, making it a completely unrelated object," NASA
said.
It said the meteor was still being analysed, but that it had
travelled from north to south, while the asteroid is moving on an
opposite course from south to north.
