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.
2024 MK is a near-Earth object with a diameter around 150 meters that flew past Earth on June 29, 2024. [1] It was discovered by ATLAS South Africa, Sutherland on 16 June 2024. [2] This asteroid travels in both the main-belt and in the near-Earth region. It passed Earth on 29 June 2024 at a distance of 184,000 miles (295,000 kilometers).

Finally, asteroid 2024 BP1, measuring in at around 130 feet, will also pass by Earth at 2.13 million miles on Friday. Will an asteroid hit Earth in 2029? NASA keeps a close eye on potentially ...
2024 ON is a near-Earth object with a length around 350 meters [2] that flew past Earth on 17 September 2024. [3] It was discovered by ATLAS - MLO , Mauna Kea on 27 July 2024. [ 2 ] Radar observations showed that 2024 ON is a contact binary .
These asteroids, while smaller than the dinosaur killer, struck our planet about 25,000 years apart. They left miles-long craters in the Mid-Atlantic Chesapeake Bay and Siberia: the fourth- and ...
2024 UQ, designated formerly as A11dc6D, was a one-meter meteoroid that struck the Earth's atmosphere and burned up harmlessly on 22 October 2024 above the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. 2024 UQ is the tenth impact event that was successfully predicted, which was discovered by the ATLAS survey.
