On 19 November, asteroid 2022 WJ1 became one of the many small asteroids to strike Earth, but only the sixth we ever saw coming. For the second time this year , humankind predicted an asteroid impact.
The initial discovery of asteroid 2022 WJ1 came from the Catalina Sky Survey – one of the major projects dedicated to the discovery and follow-up of near-Earth objects (NEOs) – at 04:53 UTC (05:53 CET) on 19 November 2022, just under four hours before impact.
Artemis 1's solar-sailing asteroid probe may be in trouble | Space
Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) Scout was one of 10 cubesats that hitched a ride to space on NASA's Artemis 1 mission, which launched on Nov. 16. The spacecraft was designed to sail on sunlight to fly past a small asteroid dubbed 2020 GE about a year from now.
In particular, NEA Scout personnel are hoping that the spacecraft's unusual propulsion strategy could help them track down the cubesat.

A time-lapse image taken by astronomer Robert Weryk captured the night sky as the space object streaked above on a path seen from London, Ontario in Canada before it dissolved in the atmosphere.

I wonder why NASA doesn't want to use SpaceX rockets for these things? It's Elon Musk, isn't it? They're waiting for him to sell SpaceX to another company so they won't have to deal with Musk, right? That would be understandable.
Remember when Twitter was just starting out and people considered it a communications joke? Until a guy had acute appendicitis in a remote Antarctic research station, and a distant surgeon guided the researcher through a self-appendectomy, one tweet at a time?

At about 10 o'clock on the night of February 28 2021, a fireball streaked through the sky over England.
With the time difference to Australia, the Global Fireball Observatory team at Curtin University were the first to dig into their cameras' data, quickly realising there may be very special meteorites to find around the town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire.
