The asteroid was discovered an hour and a half after the collision by astronomer Christian Szarnecki from Hungary.

Pieces of the meteorite that fell to Earth on January 21 were discovered in Germany. They are about the size of a walnut and may contain important clues about the origin of the solar system.

Last week, the asteroid 2024 BX1, whose fall was predicted only 95 minutes before the event, fell in Germany. After that, the real hunt for possible fragments of the cosmic body began.

“Asteroid 2024 BX1 is about 1 meter in size and is the eighth object that presents a real impact threat to Earth. While an impact with such a large object may raise concerns, the size of asteroid is not a cause for great concern because its destruction in the atmosphere is imminent. Fragments discovered “Hafelland, now will be the subject of careful study. The collected data can provide scientists with new information about the composition of asteroids and the processes taking place in the solar system. Despite the fact that the asteroid broke into small pieces, it has important scientific interest,” the report said.

We remind you that NASA is preparing a mission to an asteroid worth 10 quadrillion dollars.
