Asteroid to hit Russia today
A one-meter-long asteroid is expected to enter Earth’s atmosphere over Yakutia and create a bright flash that will be visible for up to 700km
A one-meter-long asteroid is expected to enter Earth’s atmosphere over Yakutia, Russia, on Tuesday around 7:00 p.m. Moscow time, according to scientists. The atmospheric entry is anticipated to produce a bright flash in the sky that will be visible up to 700km away.
The asteroid’s trajectory suggests it will enter the atmosphere between the settlement of Olekminsky and the city of Lensk in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), according to researchers from the Ural Federal University have confirmed. Local scientists are actively tracking its path and plan to monitor its entry closely.
While the asteroid is relatively small and poses no threat, its descent through the atmosphere will be a rare example of a visual phenomenon. Similar events have occurred in the past, including the widely known Chelyabinsk meteor of 2013, which caused damage and injuries due to the shockwave created by its explosion.
