short by Ashley Paul / on Tuesday, 3 December, 2024
An unnamed asteroid measuring around 70 cm in diameter is on a collision course with Earth, European Space Agency (ESA) said. The asteroid's impact will be "harmless" and it may likely produce a fireball in the sky over northern Siberia. It is estimated to make contact with Earth's atmosphere at around 9:45 pm (IST) and may burn up upon re-entry.
