"Impact" location (when the asteroid is at 100km altitude) has shifted west, with an airburst currently expected over land. 16:41:10 UTC (ยฑ a few mins) now the new nominal time. See the uncertainty range below, denoted by the black line.

NASA and @ESAโ€™s near-Earth object study teams predict that a very small (~1 meter) #asteroid will harmlessly impact Earthโ€™s atmosphere in a few hours at ~12:40pm EDT (~16:40 UTC) and create a fireball off the east coast of the northern Philippines.

๐Ÿ“ฃUPDATE 2: We expect the ~1 m asteroid discovered this morning to strike Earth's atmosphere over the Philippines near Luzon Island at 16:39 UTC today. Thanks to new observations, we now have a very good idea of where it will impact. And the object has a name! Welcome to Earth

In just a few minutes this small asteroid will hit the atmosphere near the Philippines. These images were collected using T30 on iTelescope.Net just minutes before it went into Earth's shadow.
