Chelyabrinsk Plume

NASA was able to track from space the dust plume from the big meteor that exploded over Chelyabrinsk, Russia, last February.

The plume eventually encircled the Earth, and could still be followed three months after the event.  That said, the density of the dust in the plume was never as high as that from a major volcanic eruption on Earth.
