2024 BX 1, previously known under its temporary designation Sar2736, was a 44 centimetre-sized (17 inches) [4] asteroid or meteoroid that entered Earth's atmosphere on 21 January 2024 00:33 UTC and disintegrated as a meteor over Berlin.
The planet was struck by two other asteroids this year that were similarly detected only a few hours before. One, dubbed 2024 BX1 and measuring about a metre across, burned up over Berlin in ...
This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of December 2024, all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors.
As sky surveys improve, smaller and smaller asteroids are regularly being discovered. The small near-Earth asteroids 2008 TC 3, 2014 AA, 2018 LA, 2019 MO, 2022 EB 5, 2022 WJ 1, 2023 CX 1, 2024 BX 1, 2024 RW 1, 2024 UQ, and 2024 XA 1 are the only elevem asteroids discovered before impacting into Earth (see asteroid impact prediction).
The first North American meteor shower of 2024 could see up to 120 shooting stars per hour. “The Quadrantids, which peak during early-January each year, are considered to be one of the best ...
Piszkéstető Station discovered 3 of the first 8 impactors which were observed and confirmed while still in orbit: 2022 EB 5, 2023 CX1, and 2024 BX1. The asteroid 2022EB was only the fifth asteroid in history to have been discovered prior to impact. This puts the station in a very short list of observatories that have achieved this feat.
The official meteor shower lasts from Sept. 22 to Nov. 22., but the shower's peak will be this weekend. The meteor shower is expected to peak on Sunday, Oct. 20 and Monday, Oct. 21.
