By the way, if you're wondering what the difference is between a meteor and a meteorite, here is an explanation. It states, "A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself."

A meteorite is a piece of debris that lands on earth.

Video of the Russian meteorite quickly popped up on YouTube.
