    “Small asteroid is on the way to strike Earth today”

    https://www.chron.com/news/space/article/asteroid-strike-earth-19955349.php

    “The asteroid was detected by astronomers earlier this morning, just
    hours before impact.”

    “A small asteroid will impact Earth's atmosphere this morning. Currently dubbed COWEPC5, the 1.6 to 4-feet asteroid was discovered earlier this morning, hours before its expected crash over Eastern Russia's
    Olykminsky District at 10:14 a.m. CT, according toEarthSky. The area
    was previously struck during 1908's Tunguska event, when a massive
    asteroid plunged into Earth's atmosphere and exploded in the skies over Siberia, flattening hundreds of miles of trees. It is the largest impact
    event on Earth in recorded history. Fortunately, today's asteroid will
    result in no damage but will create a harmless fireball in the sky. ”

    Heads up !

    For a moment I thought I'd have to wear a helmet today, but good to read
    that I don't have to!
