Asteroid slams into Earth triggering stunning green ‘fireball’ above the Philippines

A newly discovered asteroid, named 2024 RW1, met a dramatic end above the Philippines, exploding into a bright green fireball visible up to 250 miles away.

Discovered on September 4 by the Catalina Sky Survey, this 3-foot-wide space rock broke apart in Earth’s atmosphere on September 5, likely due to its high magnesium content.

The event was captured in stunning photos and videos, as advance warnings allowed locals to prepare. This was only the ninth time an asteroid of this size was detected before impact, Live Science has reported.
