As Asteroid hit the Earth today 2024 Jan 24
It was very small and burned up in the sky near Berlin. This isn't wholly remarkable, except for that teams of international astronomers (powered by NASA and JPL) spotted this asteroid a full 95 minutes prior to it hitting Earth, and were able to track it through multiple sources of observation. This may not seem like much, but it's evidence of a solid step forward in humanity's ability to predict other, larger, potentially life-impacting asteroids.
