NASA confirma explosión de meteorito y aterrizaje en la Bahía de Cape Cod

NASA confirmó que un meteorito que viajaba a 75,000 millas por hora explotó sobre el noreste de Estados Unidos, generando un fuerte estruendo sónico escuchado en varios estados, incluyendo Massachusetts y Rhode Island. La Sociedad Americana de Meteoritos informó que el meteorito entró en la atmósfera cerca de la frontera entre Massachusetts y New Hampshire, sorprendiendo a los residentes de Nueva Inglaterra con el fuerte estruendo. Los informes iniciales describieron el meteorito como de aproximadamente tres pies de ancho, pero NASA aclaró posteriormente que medía alrededor de cinco pies y pesaba 5. 6 toneladas métricas.

El meteorito se fragmentó en la atmósfera antes de aterrizar en la Bahía de Cape Cod. NASA estimó que la explosión liberó una energía equivalente a 230 toneladas de dinamita, y el estruendo sónico causó vibraciones en edificios de la región. La Policía de Boston y los residentes locales reportaron el fuerte ruido y las vibraciones, lo que motivó investigaciones y confirmaciones por parte de NASA y organizaciones meteorológicas. El evento fue confirmado como un meteorito natural y no relacionado con ninguna lluvia de meteoritos, proporcionando información sobre la trayectoria y fragmentación del objeto mientras pasaba sobre Nueva Inglaterra.
