A newly-discovered asteroid, identified as 2024 RW1, entered Earth\u2019s atmosphere over Luzon, Philippines, on September 5, 2024, creating a spectacular green fireball. This marks the ninth asteroid ever detected before impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asteroid 2024 RW1 was discovered at 05:43 UTC on September 5 by Jacqueline Fazekas at the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona, part of the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey, and entered Earth\u2019s atmosphere overs over Luzon, Philippines, at 16:39 UTC on the same day. <\/p>\n

The object was sufficiently large to create a bright fireball as it raced through the atmosphere at a speed of about 23.7 km\/s but not large enough to do any damage.<\/p>\n

BIG NEWS! CSS observer Jacqueline Fazekas has just discovered a small meteoroid that will harmlessly impact with Earth’s atmosphere in about 8 hours over the Western Pacific. The object (called CAQTDL2) is small, a few feet in diameter. Attached are the discovery images. pic.twitter.com\/js7qHNiZq0<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE: We expect the ~1 m asteroid discovered this morning to strike Earth’s atmosphere over the Philippines near Luzon Island at 16:46 UTC today. <\/p>\n

However the nearby tropical storm Yagi\/Enteng will make fireball observations difficult. <\/p>\n

Asteroid 2024 RW1 had an estimated diameter between 1.1 and 2.4 m (3.6 \u2013 7.9 feet), making it the sixth-largest of 9 asteroids ever detected before impacting Earth\u2019s atmosphere. <\/p>\n

The largest was 2019 MO<\/strong>, which impacted off the south coast of Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean Sea, on June 22, 2019. It was discovered on the same day and had a diameter of approximately 5 m (16.4 feet) and a mass of around 200 tons.<\/p>\n
