The biggest fireball since the Chelyabinsk explosion has plunged through the atmosphere over the Atlantic Ocean.
The event, which has only just come to light, occurred off the coast of Brazil at 13:55 GMT on 6 February.
As it burned up, the space rock released the equivalent of 13,000 tonnes of TNT.
This makes it the most powerful event of its kind since an object exploded over Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013.
