Erm, how big is this asteroid exactly. Do I need to start screaming?

I see you'd like to know more.

Are we dead yet?

I am. Anyone else?

[jimothyc]

I was but I got better.

Phew!

Time for an asteroid joke.

Seems like it was about 1 metre in diameter, and burned up in the atmosphere as predicted.

I think I read somewhere that any asteroid up to 10m in diameter would likely burn up without causing damage on earth, but I might not be remembering that correctly.

Anyway, quite a few videos on X.
