at least one of the initial videos (red or orange i think) also showed it
coming out the other side... it does appear that it has broken apart now... we
don't know when, though... only that it brightened before going around and
then faded away after emerging...

here's a question i don't think i've seen posed yet... will we have a new
meteor shower to watch from the debris like others have given us? ;)
