   They might also have received a somewhat larger dosis of radiation, perhaps   
   it's minor since it would spread out in all directions.   
      
   I wonder if the International Space Station has a radiation meter.   
      
   Perhaps the ISS could shine some more light on this matter...   
      
   Perhaps the astronauts can check the radiation levels over the past hours to   
   see if there was any significant change.

   Perhaps these pieces of debry are not large or fast enough to cause   
   significant harm to us humans on earth, because of our thick atmosphere   
   which will vaporize those pieces.   
      
   However the astronauts/space station screw that was launched yesterday might   
   be at increased risk.   
      
   I would not be surprised if they are going to be "shotgunned" to death by   
   this debry.   
      
   Time will tell.   
      
   Bye,

   Then again, if the detonation did not cause an entire mass to energy   
   transfer then some pieces/debry might still be thrown into space and deflect   
   against other rocks... so there is still a chance to some of that debry   
   might be heading towards earth !   
      
   Everbody DUCK ! ;) =D

   However there might still be some particles in space, like dust or water   
   vapor, so perhaps the nuclear explosion does have some rippling effect in   
   space... but perhaps not enough to cause a "shock wave".

   Suppose that I am correct for a moment and there was indeed an explosion   
   somewhere in the asteroid belt.   
      
   What implications would this have ?!?   
      
   1. Would there be a hole in the asteroid belt ? (Can it be seen from earth   
   or satellites, maybe hubble ?)   
      
   2. Would there be a "blast wave" that blows away all other asteroids ?!?   
   (But there is no air in space ?)   
      
   So how do nuclear explosions behave in space ?   
      
   3. Anyway if debry does fly around then perhaps earth could be in danger of   
   "shrapnel".   
      
   So there might actually be some kind of debry heading our way...   
      
   I am not sure how long it would take for that stuff to get here...   
      
   You guys better watch the skies with your hopefully capable and advanced   
   equipment...   
      
   Another explanation could be that some planet was hit with something and I   
   couldn't see the planet but did see the explosion...   
      
   Bye,   
     Skybuck.

   Time for one more explanation:   
      
   I tell you what I think really happened:   
      
   1. A big comet from outerspace hit another rock/asteroid somewhere in the   
   asteroid belt around our planets.   
      
   2. This led to a big nuclear explosion which was visible from earth.
