An asteroid that crashed into the Earth’s atmosphere over the UK and France was spotted just hours before it crashed. The world was given only seven hours warning that it was being approached by ...
The Kamchatka superbolide is estimated to have had a mass of roughly 1600 tons, and a diameter of 9 to 14 meters depending on its density, making it the third largest asteroid to impact Earth since 1900, after the Chelyabinsk meteor and the Tunguska event. The fireball exploded in an airburst 25.6 kilometres (15.9 mi) above Earth's surface.

2023 CX 1 is the seventh asteroid discovered before being successfully predicted to impact Earth, and also the third whose meteorites were collected after its predicted impact. [ 6 ] [ 17 ] It is Sárneczky's second discovery of an impacting asteroid, after 2022 EB 5 which he discovered a year prior in March 2022.
The impact site was not examined by scientists until 20 years later, when they discovered the asteroid carved a massive area of destruction of around 830 square miles, according to NASA.
Vibrations caused by the impacts are giving scientists new insight into the structure of the red planet. Recent meteorite crashes on Mars ‘could reveal clues about planet’s origin’ Skip to ...
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.
There are several lists of meteorite impacts of various types available: Category:Lists of impact craters contains lists on various planets, including Earth by continent; Meteorite falls are observed; Meteorite finds are rocks found on the ground which are geologically identified as meteorites; Meteorite contains lists of the most notable of ...
