- superbolide -- a term that has been used in esoteric technical astrophysics for some years, but came into the popular lexicon more prominently after the asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere over Russia in Feburary 2013 was identified as a "superbolide". See, for example, Wikipedia:Chelyabinsk meteor. FWIW, Google shows 23,600 hits on Superbolide as of today. Scholarly articles show 138 hits on Google scholar. Usage note: superbolide is used as a noun describing a particular large size of bolide or fireball meteor; it is ALSO used as an adjective as in "superbolide meteor" or "superbolide event", including in the scholarly literature.
