When an asteroid crashed into Earth; then this happened

Earth keeps on pulling objects in outer space towards itself because of its strong gravitational pull. But imagine if every object starts hitting or crashing into the planet! Such events are rare though because when any object from outer space reaches Earth's atmosphere it gets destroyed to a large extent. Only a few objects like asteroids, meteors, etc. which are very large in size can manage to actually hit the Earth's surface. And when did that happen last, you would probably be thinking. The answer is shocking. It happened as recently as on March 15, 2022. Yes, an actual asteroid crashed into our planet.

According to the information provided by NASA, it was a small asteroid that hit Earth's atmosphere over the Norwegian Sea before largely disintegrating and then crashing into the planet. "But this event wasn't a complete surprise: Astronomers knew it was on a collision course, predicting exactly where and when the impact would happen," NASA said.

Two hours before the asteroid made impact, K. Sarneczky at the Piszkesteto Observatory in northern Hungary first reported observations of the small object to the Minor Planet Center – the internationally recognized clearinghouse for the position measurements of small celestial bodies. The object was posted on the Minor Planet Center's Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page to flag it for additional observations that would confirm it as a previously unknown asteroid.

NASA's “Scout” impact hazard assessment system then took these early measurements to calculate the trajectory of 2022 EB5. As soon as Scout determined that 2022 EB5 was going to hit Earth's atmosphere, the system alerted the Center
