Asteroids around 1 meter in size hit Earth roughly every two weeks, yet only a handful have been detected before entering the atmosphere. This observation highlights advancements in tracking space objects.
This is the ninth asteroid ever spotted before impact, indicating significant progress in tracking and monitoring the thousands of objects in our celestial neighborhood.
CAQTDL2 will burn up in the atmosphere upon entry, posing no threat to Earth, but could create a fireball visible to observers.
Typhoon Yagi's presence in the Philippines may hinder visibility of the fireball created by the incoming asteroid, affecting potential observations of this celestial event.
