Harga Meteor Russia 1 Gram $2,220

The big space rock that crashed into the Ural Mountains last week was the largest in a century, and worth more than its weight in gold

The bad news about the gigantic meteorite that crashed into the central Russian area of Chelyabinsk on Friday — the largest to hit the Earth in more than 100 years — is the unpleasant reminder that "space is out to kill you," says Spencer Ackerman at Wired. And "all the advanced air defenses that humanity has invested in?" The missiles, rockets, and early warning systems are all "useless, useless against a meteorite onslaught." The good news? "Space rocks are lousy shots," and most of the Earth's surface isn't inhabited by mankind. How big and powerful — and valuable — is this particular meteorite? Here's a look, by the numbers:
