Asteroid 2024 BX1 Disintegrates Over Berlin After Being Detected Hours Before Impact

Hungarian Astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky Spots Asteroid, Marking Eighth Time in History an Asteroid Impact Has Been Predicted

A small asteroid, named 2024 BX1, was detected by Hungarian astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky just hours before it entered Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated over Berlin, Germany.
This marks the eighth time in history that an asteroid impact has been predicted before it occurred.
The asteroid was approximately 1 meter in diameter and likely dropped some meteorites on the ground as it disintegrated.
Despite the potential for meteorites, the asteroid posed no danger to people on the ground.
Sárneczky has previously discovered two other asteroids shortly before they impacted Earth, making him a notable figure in the field of asteroid detection.
