CNN
Scientists have precisely mapped the flight path of an asteroid that landed on Earth and traced it back to its point of origin. The boulder-size fragment was ejected from the asteroid Vesta and it took 22 million years to reach Earth in 2018.
The asteroid, known as 2018 LA, appeared like a fireball in the skies over Botswana on June 2, 2018, before breaking apart and landing in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Prior to breaking up in Earth's atmosphere, scientists determined that the asteroid was about 5 feet (1.7 meters) in diameter, weighed 12,566 pounds and had been traveling at 37,282 miles per hour.More Related News
