The space rock, measuring only about a metre (3ft) in size, had eluded discovery and was spotted by research technologist Jacqueline Fazekas at Arizona’s Catalina Sky Survey only on Wednesday morning.
Labelled as 2024 RW1, the asteroid was predicted to burn up in the atmosphere, posing no risk to people on the ground.

I thought these were rare. But this is the 3rd or 4th one I’ve heard about in the last couple weeks. I even caught one on my dashcam a week ago.
