Fascinating story about how the system predicted the impact of small (1m) asteroid 2024 BX1 on Earth, in Germany.

The asteroid was first observed less than three hours before its impact by Krisztián Sárneczky at Piszkéstető Mountain Station of the Konkoly Observatory near Budapest, Hungary.

    Why was the Search for #Extraterrestrial Intelligence (#SETI) 👽 unsuccessful so far ?

    #Life 🦠 appeared pretty much as soon as it could, right when the #oceans formed and our #planet stopped being a molten 🌋 hellscape. That might have been as early as 3.7 billion years ago. But #intelligent life appeared basically yesterday—what we identify as anatomically modern humans arose about 120,000 years ago. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/05/were-essentially-alone-in-the-universe-and-thats-ok

    @spaceflight I've heard NASA can only track asteroids that are bigger than a kilometre, but I'm unsure on that but would like to know if that's true
