Astronomers Saw This Spectacular Fireball Coming Before It Lit Up the Great Lakes

For just the sixth time in history, astronomers managed to spot a small asteroid shortly before it smacked into our planet in dramatic fashion.

On Saturday, Astronomer David Rankin spotted a 2.3-foot-long (0.7 meter) asteroid in observations from the Mount Lemmon sky survey in Arizona. That's not very big as far as asteroids go, but this one was on a collision course with Earth. Although it wasn't large enough to pose a substantial risk, it was big enough to put on quite a show as it tore through the atmosphere. 

Word went out immediately in the middle of the night through astronomy circles that impact was just hours away. 

While it's only the sixth asteroid we saw coming, it wasn't the first to be spotted before impact this year. This gives some indication of how much the astronomy's collective detection capability is improving in recent years -- five of the six have been spotted since 2014. What was different about this incoming asteroid, which is officially cataloged as 2022 WJ1, compared with the other handful that were spotted before their fiery demise is that it burned up over the largest city in Canada. 

Over 100 witnesses reported seeing a bright fireball over the region around Lake Erie and the other Great Lakes at 3:26 a.m. local time (12:26 a.m. PT). It was even caught on camera buzzing behind the iconic CN Tower in Toronto. 

Astronomers from Western University in Ontario advise people along portions of the Lake Ontario shoreline to "check their yards and driveways for new black rocks, which could be meteorites."

A number of researchers are already on the job scouring the shore for potential space chunk fragments.

Jets' remade secondary to get toughest test yet against Bills

Image
They came from Seattle, Tampa Bay, the University of Cincinnati and the brink of retirement to join together for games like this one.  The Jets secondary was remade in the offseason with the idea that the defense could “coverage you to death,” as head coach Robert Saleh put it. If the offseason free-agent additions of cornerback D.J. Reed from the Seahawks and safety Jordan Whitehead from the Buccaneers, the first-round drafting of Sauce Gardner and the re-signing of veteran safety Lamarcus Joyner weren’t done specifically with two division games per year against the Bills in mind, it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Jets can go strength-on-strength Sunday with an assassin.  MVP frontrunner Josh Allen quarterbacks the NFL’s leading passing offense (307.7 yards per game) with seven different weapons accounting for 19 touchdowns catches.  “It’s going to be a challenge,” Saleh said, “but, at the same time, a challenge that we think we’re up for.”

Mandy Moore’s Life as a Mom of Two Is ‘Pretty Dreamy’ 

Image
Mandy Moore may not actually be sleeping, but she’s living in a dreamworld with her sons Gus, 20 months, and Ozzie, born last month. The This Is Us star, who shares her boys with husband Taylor Goldsmith, gave an update about life with two in a sweet new interview. “So far, it’s been pretty dreamy—I feel bad saying that,” Moore told Parents yesterday. She continued, “The second we brought Ozzie home, he just wants to kiss him. He wants to be close to him. If he’s at the park with my husband and I’m home with the baby, he’s like ‘home Ozzie.’” Aww! It sounds like they are already developing a close bond, which is something that Moore is holding onto. “He’s just starting to really clock that obviously there’s another person in the house that’s taking both of his parents’ attention at certain points, but he’s actually been very sweet about it and really gentle,” she told the outlet. “And I’m excited to have these two boys so close in age, and hopefully, t
