The first videos of the #asteroid #C0WEPC5 entry in #Russia are coming out on Telegram Messenger . It appears to be very similar to previous asteroid entires (2022 WJ, 2023 CX1, 2024 BX1). Lots of fragments at the end, it probably dropped some rocks in a remote forested area.

Asteroid #C0WEPC5 in Olekminsk, Russia

Asteroid #C0WEPC5 in Olyokminsk, Russia

🚨BOLETÍN OFICIAL 🚨 Impacto de #Asteroide designado #C0WEPC5 en #Siberia, #Rusia. Gran destello en el cielo. Velocidad de entrada: 15,6 kilómetros por segundo.

☄️ Asteroid #C0WEPC5 (temporary designation) entered Earth's atmosphere at 16:15 UTC/17:15 CET, creating a fireball over Yakutia witnessed by people in the region. The object was discovered roughly 12 hours ago and is thought to have been around 70 cm across. Thanks to

Airwave from the impact of 2024 XA1 detected at CTBTO station I45. Based on the period of the signal the source energy is about 0.02 kT TNT. With entry speed of 15.5 km/s this corresponds to an object with mass of 700 kilograms and diameter of about 0.75-1 m. #2024XA1

Asteroid 2024 YR4 watch: a few new observations have pushed the December 22, 2032 impact odds up very slightly to 1.7%. That’s still a 98.3% chance of a miss. Good thing planetary defenders are keeping an eye on it though, right?

Asteroid Institute, a program of B612 has taken the orbit and uncertainty of asteroid 2024YR4, sampled 10K trajectories from the current uncertainty, and propagated them forward. 2.3% of those hit the Earth on Dec.22, 2032. Here is where they hit.

Here are 70 clones of #asteroid 2024 YR4 that do hit Earth, highlighting the impact risk corridor. There are some big cities along that line: #Bogota, #Lagos, #Mumbai.
