Asteroid Impact Expected Over Philippines | The Catastrophic Meteor Meteor

a small asteroid about 1 meter wide will hit Earth's atmosphere on September 4th 2024 and researchers from the European Space Agency expect the asteroid to hit the atmosphere over the Philippines at around 1946 Doha time an asteroid of this size is expected to burn up completely in Earth's atmosphere possibly creating a bright Fireball that anyone in this region of the world can see scientists at the European Space Agency explained that an asteroid of this size hits about once every 2 weeks and according to NASA about 48.5 tons of meteorites hit Earth every day but most of these Rocky pieces are as small as a grain of sand and burn up completely upon entering Earth's atmosphere for a piece of Space Rock to reach Earth it must be at least 5 m wide when it enters the atmosphere it is known that the larger the diameter of the asteroid the less likely it is to hit Earth so an asteroid 100 m wide is likely to hit earth once every 10,000 years Earth has seen events of this kind before in 1908 a meteor 50 to 60 m in diameter exploded in the atmosphere with a force of about 12 megatons about a thousand times more powerful than the nuclear bomb that hit Hiroshima and it occurred in a remote area south of the CR noar cry region of Russia on the morning of June 30th the explosion destroyed an estimated 80 million trees in an area of 200 150 square km of forest eyewitness reports indicated that the explosion was followed by strong earthquakes and a pressure wave that threw people into the air and that at least three people may have been killed in the event although finding these faint near Earth objects is like looking for a needle and a hay stack the world now has a large number of Sky survey observatories specialized in finding these objects no matter how small in diameter and the relevant agencies usually announced the date of the asteroid impact as soon as it is discovered unlike most conventional telescopes which have a narrow field of view and high magnification survey telescopes have a wide field of view to scan the entire sky in a reasonable amount of time with enough sensitivity to pick out faint objects close to Earth
