/// The strike came on the same day that Asteroid 2012 DA14 is due to skim the orbit of the Earth tonight. ///

/// But astronomers say that it is probably just a coincidence - Dr Robert Massey of the Royal Astronomical Society told MailOnline: 'As I understand it, the Russian meteorite(s) were travelling from east to west whereas 2012 DA14 will be travelling from north to south.' ///

Tin hats at the ready.
