Asteroid on collision course with Earth, set to crash tonight
A small asteroid, approximately 70 cm in diameter, has been detected on a collision course with Earth, expected to enter the atmosphere over northern Siberia today. At around ~70 cm in diameter, the impact will be harmless, likely producing a nice fireball in the sky over northern Siberia around seven hours from now at ~16:15 +/- 05 min UTC December 3, 2024 The asteroid, which remains unnamed, is part of a growing list of near-Earth objects being monitored by space agencies worldwide. This particular object was detected shortly before its expected entry into Earth's atmosphere, showcasing the advancements in tracking and predicting asteroid trajectories. While the asteroid's impact will not pose any danger, it shows the dynamic nature of our solar system and the ongoing need for vigilance in monitoring celestial objects that venture close to our planet.
