This is just the seventh time an #asteroidimpact has ever been predicted before it happens - a sign of the rapid advancements in global asteroid detection capabilities!

A <1m object has struck🌍in the skies above Niagara Falls, becoming a safe #fireball. For just the 6th time, global #asteroid warning systems saw it pre impact, alerting #PlanetaryDefence experts where & when. 'Only' 6x, but this capability is rapidly improving

Observations are already coming in.
Even, observations of the object before it struck!

Here's the story. More than 300g of rare meteoritic material has been recovered from the spectacular #fireball seen over the UK on 28 Feb!
Huge congrats to the UK Fireball Alliance, @NHM_Meteorites, @SCAMP_Meteors, @UKMeteorNetwork & many others!

The meteorite fragments that have been recovered are of a particularly rare kind known as carbonaceous chondrites. These objects predate the Earth!
Here are a few of the specimens.

"Having such a fresh carbonaceous chondrite fall in the UK is a once in a lifetime event,” says @AshleyJKing85.

Some preliminary results on the earthgrazing #fireball of yesterday morning, from Dutch all-sky #meteor camera images.
Rare case of a meteor that definitely went in and out of the atmosphere again! Just like the famous 1972 Grand Tetons fireball

Even the meteors try to avoid our planet in 2020...
Note that the apparent "curve" does not mean it travelled on a curved trajectory. That "curve" in reality is due to the curved earth surface below the fireball!
