Small asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere hours after astronomers spot it
Astronomers detected the small object, named CERNQ52, only hours before it was expected to enter the atmosphere. Its entry was forecast to occur between 16:07 and 16:12 GMT, above the Indian Ocean close to northwestern Australia. Due to its tiny size of 0.6 to 1.2 metres, it posed no threat and largely disintegrated.
