 Asteroid hits Earth near California, third time this year! The asteroid, initially named A11dc6D and later 2024 UQ, was spotted just hours before impact. Fortunately, it caused no harm, bursting into a bright fireball over the Pacific Ocean. This is the 10th time an asteroid has been predicted in advance, thanks to efficient surveys like ATLAS, Catalina, and Pan-STARRS.
