Russian Meteor's Path Tracked By Computer Simulation

The recent events involving meteors and asteroids entering and passing by earth, respectively, had really caused panic among the people, where one of them slammed near Russia's Ural region, injuring thousands of people. This was the first recorded event where two space rock events happened in a span of couple of hours, and claims that both the asteroids were related have been denied by space experts.

Following these claims, computer modelling company AGI, released a simulation of the meteor and the orbital path of asteroid 2012 DA14, to give a better visualization to the people about the two different and independent events.
