There was a Meteorite shower around Nagpur region (Referred as Vidarbha) on 22nd May 2012 afternoon. People heard the explosion sounds in the afternoon especially in a wedge area around 100-200kms from Nagpur city.
Surprisingly, an earthquake measuring 2.1M on the Richter Scale was recorded 30km NE of Akola which is near to Nagpur.
The article thus explains the basic difference between a meteorite,meteoroid and meteror in a very simple and illustrative way. Also I have investigated whether the Earthquake was caused to the impact or not (As a few meteorites had produced Earthquakes in the past)
The article was Co-Authored by Me,AKGs Aluth Fian and Mr.Sandeep Shirkhedkar.
I thank them for their support

we are from your school,we are working on nasa space settlement project. we are recently on the topic prevention from solar radiation, so we thought you might help us as we have no idea about it
Hi Varad,
Nice to know about your participation in the NSS Space settlement contest. The topic is very broad and can't be discussed here. Perhaps, it will be better if we discuss it personally someday hopefully at my residence.
My best wishes...
