@bojannovakovic.bsky.socialI had the pleasure of presenting our work on #asteroid #Kamoʻoalewa at #EPSC2026 on Monday.
Is Earth’s unusual quasi-satellite a fragment of the Moon, or an asteroid delivered from the main belt? Our results strongly favour the latter.
Here is the summary in one picture 👇

@earthskyscience.bsky.socialImpact! 🪨🌎 For only the 13th time, scientists discovered an #asteroid before impact. About 6 hours before the space rock hit #Earth's atmosphere on Sunday, the Mount Lemmon Observatory - as part of the Catalina Sky Survey - spotted it for the 1st time.

@orbitalradar.bsky.socialNext asteroid close approach: 2026 RN1 on 2026-Sep-06, flying by at ~4.8 lunar distances or 1,848,057 km.
Catch real-time data on its distance and orbit here: https://orbitalradar.com/asteroid/2026-rn1.
It's a cosmic neighborhood highlight, not a threat.
@astrobiology.bsky.social@bigearthdata.ai@earthskyscience.bsky.socialA newly discovered #asteroid, less than 1 meter (about 3 feet) across, is headed for Earth. It will impact the atmosphere near northwest Australia around 16 to 16:30 UTC. People in the area could see a bright flash of the incoming meteor.
