MOSCOW – The asteroid that landed outside of Moscow is
still glowing, and now it’s growing.
Russian superhero, Ural, and a team of scientists have
kept watch of the asteroid since yesterday.
They were measuring a constant heat signature emanating from within the
rock when they noticed that it was getting bigger. The scientists have not been allowed to
comment, but Ural said, “It has grown nearly 200 meters overnight. A remarkable, and unsettling, growth has
occurred.”
Authorities have been spending the majority of their time
keeping the curious away from the scene, which is difficult to do considering
the size of the asteroid. Crowds have
gathered on hilltops with telescopes to see the rock for themselves. The glow was even enough to light up the
night sky. Some residents reported
strange dreams of outer space, saying they’ve seen star systems not visible
from Earth.
Scientists have been unable to determine the source of
the heat signature or the growth or whether they have any relation to the
dreams. So far, they’ve only ruled out
nuclear radiation as a possible cause, but they are proceeding with caution in
case other types of radiation are involved.
