There's a live +YouTube / +Google+ hangout featuring +Philip Plait live now to discuss Asteroid 2012 DA14 which just passed by the earth:
Asteroid 2012 DA14 Nearmissapalooza
If you view the recorded version of the hangout later, he also discussed the large meteor which broke up over Russia this morning and reportedly injured up to 1000 people.
The photo below is a much smaller meteor which I captured during the annual Persied meteor shower. I'm receiving thousands of views on my Perseid meteor shower time-lapse videos over on YouTube this morning, given the interest in the meteor over Russia:
