The spectacle of an asteroid crossing the sky of the Philippines was expected, it did not disappoint

SPACE – An asteroid measuring about 1 meter was detected before its arrival in the Earth’s atmosphere and many witnesses filmed its luminous passage in the sky of the Philippines this Wednesday evening

Darkness eclipsed by incandescent brightness. In the Philippines, an asteroid that entered the Earth’s atmosphere lit up the night sky for a brief moment on Wednesday. The event was recorded by many smartphones across the country because it did not happen by surprise, reports France Info.

The celestial object was detected as part of the Catalina Sky Survey program funded by NASA, which tracks comets or asteroids whose trajectory coincides with or flirts with that of the Earth. The European Space Agency was able to announce on Wednesday, September 4 in the morning that the asteroid would burn up in our atmosphere during the night.

No danger to the planet
