Small Asteroid To Light Up Sky Over Africa





WASHINGTON
-- An asteroid measuring several feet in diameter is expected to enter
the atmosphere over northern Sudan before dawn Tuesday, setting off a
potentially brilliant natural fireworks display.

It is
unlikely any sizable fragments will survive the fiery passage through
Earth's atmosphere. The event is expected to occur at 5:46 a.m. local
time (10:46 p.m. EDT Monday).

"We estimate objects this size
enter Earth's atmosphere once every few months," said Don Yeomans of
the Near-Earth Object Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, Calif. "The unique aspect of this event is that it is the
first time we have observed an impacting object during its final
approach."

The small space rock, designated 2008 TC3, will be traveling on an eastward trajectory that will carry it toward the Red Sea.

"Observers in the region could be in for quite a show," Yeomans said.
"When the object enters the atmosphere, it could become an extremely
bright fireball."

The small space rock first was observed by
the Mount Lemon telescope of the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey early
Monday. NASA detects and tracks asteroids and comets passing close to
Earth. The Near Earth Object Observation Program, commonly called
"Spaceguard," plots the orbits of these objects to determine if any
could be potentially hazardous to our planet.
