GT faculty member Masatoshi (Toshi) Hirabayashi was featured in local news explaining the significance of meteorite that fell in Atlanta metro area last Thursday:

Toshi Hirabayashi, a Georgia Tech professor who studies space operations, celestial mechanics and planetary science, quickly began analyzing videos of the fireball Thursday “just for fun.” It’s the kind of reaction one might expect from a man who has an asteroid named after him. Based on his rough calculations, the object was moving “definitely faster than 10 miles per second” or roughly 36,000 mph, he said. While it’s fun to see smaller meteorites hit the Earth, it’s critical to prepare for when a larger meteor comes blazing in and does real damage. In 2013, a meteor the size of a house exploded 14 miles above Russia, Hirabayashi said. “We are working so hard to monitor, as well as develop technologies to defend Earth,” he said.
