[email protected] good morning, it's friday, february 15. i'm michelle griego. >> hi, everyone. i'm frank mallicoat. hundreds hurt after a meteor rains down on russia. got some amazing video of this 10-ton meteor blasting across the sky faster than the speed of sound and it's all caught on tape as you can see. it happened in russia in the chelyabinsk region 900 miles east of moscow in the ural mountains and kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran is at the nasa ames center in mountain view. >> cate, the timing is interesting because it comes just as an asteroid is headed toward early this morning. >> yes. and we're learning that that's just mainly a coincidence. we found that out this morning. you mentioned frank the russian academy of science is saying that meteor that streaked over the mountains was about 10 tons. hundreds of people are recovering from that meteor shock wave. the fall caused explosions that broke glass over a wide area. and it caught most people off guard. >> an object the size of a house cannot be seen by telescopes and they catch you off guard. >> reporter: this comes on the same day an asteroid known as 2012da-14 is headed towards evident. this heavily body will make the closest fly by of an object its size and we are learning that european scientists say the meteor and the asteroid are not related but researchers say this asteroid is also not expected to make an impact on earth. however, it will fly closer than some television satellites but you will barely be able to see the asteroid with your eye. now, here's a little space trivia to get an idea of the difference. a space rock is an asteroid when it's orbiting the sun. it becomes a meteor when it enters earth's atmosphere and if it hits the ground it becomes a meteorite. live at nasa ames research center, cate caugiran, kpix 5. bill nye the science guy compared the event to a similar one that happened in siberia in 1908 when a meteor caused a destructive air burst. >> this is where the meteor, the asteroid, the cometary material is coming into the earth's atmosphere so fast that the earth's atmosphere act like concrete. it disintegrates in midair, an air burst, the pressure wave, the shock wave from that knocked out windows and i guess hurt people. >> to get more on the science angle there's a viewing part tonight at the chabot space and science center in oakland and they will have telescopes to see this asteroid and scientists and astronomers will be on hand to talk about it. the viewing party starts at 7 p.m. what a way to spend a friday night. >> the meteor expected to come through that blew up over russia was running at about 33 miles per hour. that's the estimate. >> what's so strange is we never see them on tape on video. so someone got a camera out. >> everybody has cameras now, cell phones. a lot of that stuff we get to see. that's the ones that we don't see those are the scary ones, right? those are approaching the country. around the bay area today, we are looking at a lot of sunshine coming our way as temperatures heat up nicely again 30s in the valleys now patchy fog in the north bay, but 50s elsewhere with the offshore winds already blowing. so you get the idea, it is going to be a gorgeous day ahead as this ridge builds overhead. that offshore winds are going to kick in. and this is going to be some kind of day weather-wise. temperatures in the low to mid- 60s in the afternoon could see some 70s about 73 degrees in san jose. 69 in san francisco. and 70 degrees in santa rosa. will it hold for the weekend? we will talk about that coming up in
