Meteor Tourism
Just about every news event creates a demand for some kind of tourism. And the recent astronomical event in Russia is due to create some influx of tourists hoping to catch a glimpse of the impact or even a fragment of "space rock".
A quick Google Scholar search on "meteor crater tourism" found this interesting paper. Some neat maps too!
I mean, we will typically hang out in the darkened backyard to watch for shooting stars! Not that I want one to zoom over the house and blow out all the windows, but if one was nearby, I might just need to check it out (and take my camera).

Meteor Shower last night
Last night we had a great light show in the backyard. For the report see this link.
The Geminid Meteor Shower produced up to 100 meteors per hour.
So, we were outside and I saw several meteors and one satellite. The satellite was moving east to west, but was probably fixed in space as the Earth spins eastward.
For more information about these astronomical light shows, see here.
Pretty cool eh?
