On Saturday morning, the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, AZ, caught a glimpse of an asteroid racing toward Earth. Churning through the data at top speed, astronomers at the Minor Planet Center and NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) confirmed this space rock was on a collision course for our planet.

Luckily for us earthlings, scientists think asteroid 2018 LA only stretched about 6 feet in width—small enough to safely disintegrate in Earth’s atmosphere. Hours later, it struck the atmosphere.
