A man walking across his front yard at night was killed by a golf ball-size rock traveling from space faster than the speed of sound. It punched a hole through his left shoulder blade, singeing the bone. It tore through his heart and exited through his abdomen. His body did very little to change the meteorite’s trajectory. An astrophysicist, who heard about the man’s death on the news and got curious, later determined the deviation was probably half a degree or less. Probably less.
