I would think there would be more objects trailing a (small) asteroid, yes.
But what forces releases a smaller fragment from an asteroid/meteoroide?
Rotation, tension in the rock, gas release underneath? Some of these forces
could
be strong and send them forwards with some speed.
I'm not shure
I'm talking about two different trajectories. Different inclinations,
different semimajor axes, (very) different eccentricities, (very)
different geocentric velocities. There is no plausible mechanism for
ending up with two pieces of the same body in such radically different
orbits- it would
good article that shows graphically why/how these are not related.

Where are these elements posted??
It's impossible that they could be as different as you state here.
My mailbox got full yesterday, so if they have been posted on this list
while I could not receive any new messages, I must apologize.
But if not, post the elements or supply a link.

Esko posted these yesterday on meteor obs. This is estimated. The

I must be starting praying for you MIke!!?
That's the most clueless article about these events I have ever seen.
Or someone purporting to know anything about celestial mechanics.
Wired and author Helene McLaughlin doesn't know a thing about celestial
mechanics.
The diagram is totally wrong,
stream comments and deductions anymore...

The orbital elements are precisely known for DA14, and the estimated
elements for the meteor are certainly not far off. You don't understand
orbital dynamics at all if you believe these two bodies could have been
in parallel orbits. They were not. There is no plausible mechanism that

Hi Michael,
... I have learned to be more and more skeptical about the common/obvious
knowledge over the years... You might be right... but be careful about your
high level of certainty...
The level of celestial mechanical certainty involved here is comparable to the
uncertainty that 1+1 = 2.
Hi Rob
Your 1+1=2 doesn't convince me
BUT your Devil's Advocate much more...
I am glad I pursued on this, because NOW
I am getting a tangible answer
Thank you !
best regards to all

The posted orbit for the Russian meteor doesn't resemble in any way 2012
DA14. There is a difference of 7 degrees in the
inclination alone - about 4 degrees for the meteor and 2012 DA's
inclination is 11.6 degrees.
Both the Node and Arg Peri are also different.

All the various arguments against it being a connection between the russian
meteor of today and the asteroid passage also today of 2012 DA14 are quite
shallow and actually faulty. The closest passage of a very large asteroid
object ever and the the most damaging (for humans) meteorite fall
Hello Bjørn,
Ok, what _evidence_ do you have to the contrary?
/DA14's trajectory is trivially established precisely. Show us this
new body matches that trajectory. It either does or it doesn't. You
are claiming it does, so now you need to present your case.
Finger-pointing and innuendo does
Wow.

The trajectory through the siberian atmosphere doesn't seem to be known with
very great precisison at the time.
I am working out from this statement from Jeremie Vaubaillon

the bolide was heading very roughly North-East towards South-West.

It is 100% certain that the two bodies are unrelated, given the physical
impossibility of a single object producing the two completely different
trajectories involved. I'd suggest you study orbital dynamics before
making scientifically unsound suggestions.

Two completely different trajectories??
What the heck are you talking about?
They are quite similar. It would not at this point say they are identical.
In WHAT way are they _completely different_, elaborate please.
And don't be so d** arrogant, for christ sake.
