Visit70 cm Asteroid to Create Fireball Over Siberia, Poses No Danger
Dec 3, 2024, 11:27 AM
NASA has detected a small asteroid, approximately 70 cm in diameter, on a collision course with Earth. The asteroid is expected to enter Earth's atmosphere over northern Siberia today, creating a bright fireball in the sky. The impact is deemed harmless, with no danger to life or property due to its small size. The event is anticipated to occur around 16:15 UTC, with a margin of error of ±5 minutes. Scientists have confirmed that fragments may land between Olekminsk and Lensk, but the asteroid poses no significant threat.
