It's now on its way away from earth after the closest approach about 90 minutes ago, so I guess we're safe. It's been on my mind most of the year, though, and when I got into work this morning to have a colleague tell me about the meteor strike in Russia, there were a couple of moments of genuine panic at the thought that the scientists could make a mistake of this scale and also then immediate empathy for the devastation that must have been caused. My thoughts are with those injured.
