Via an NBC Connecticut screenshot, the meteorite that hit a Connecticut man's home on April 19 is seen.

 

Celestial events can be awe-inspiring, as long as they remain at a distance and don't come crashing through your home.

The Lyrid meteor shower was little more than a close call for Larry Beck, whose Wolcott, Conn. house was struck by what appeared to be a baseball-sized rock in the middle of the night, late Friday, April 19. It was originally thought to be a piece of concrete from a runway that was stuck in a plane and then dropped from the sky [2], according to reports included in a Universe Today story.
