The Chelyabinsk meteor was 20m and it damaged 7,200 buildings, it collapsed a factory roof and shattered windows (I have no idea the composition of either of both meteors but at least this gives some perspective):

- seanw444 5y agoChelyabinsk was 20m? That's surprisingly little damage for something equivalent to a massive light seen on Jupiter.
- shkkmo 5y agoChelyabinsk's light was probably similarly visible on Jupiter. The size of the light probably indicates the area illuminated by the explosion rather than the size of the explosion itself.
