Asteroid will imminently burn up in Earth's atmosphere over Philippines

A 1-meter asteroid is expected to enter Earth’s atmosphere over the Philippines near Luzon Island. It is estimated to occur on Wednesday. The European Space Agency reported that this asteroid, initially called CAQTDL2 but now named 2024 RW1, was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey. Asteroids of this size are known to hit Earth approximately every two weeks, but they are rarely spotted before impact. The asteroid poses no threat as it will burn up upon entry into the atmosphere. However, due to the presence of Typhoon Yagi, visibility of the fireball may be hindered.
