Tiny asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere, explodes over Germany | Watch video | Oneindia

In the early hours of January 21, a petite asteroid streaked through the sky, entering Earth's atmosphere in the vicinity of Berlin, Germany.

As it penetrated the atmosphere, the asteroid detonated mid-air, generating a brilliant but harmless fireball visible for miles.

Astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky, also known as an asteroid hunter, first detected the asteroid, named 2024 BXI.

Sárneczky, stationed at the Piszkéstető Mountain Station within the Konkoly Observatory in Hungary, utilised the observatory's 60-cm Schmidt telescope to identify the celestial object.

Following the asteroid's discovery, NASA promptly issued a comprehensive forecast detailing the meteor's impact location and time.
