According to a report by Spacedotcom, the 2024 UQ of Estroid was discovered by the Estroid Terristial-Empact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey on 22 October. It is a network of four telescopes. However, just 2 hours after the discovery, Estroid was burnt over the Pacific Ocean near California.
The difference of only 2 hours in knowing about Esteroids and entering the Earth’s atmosphere is going to increase anxiety. Had it been a big estrode, there could have been loss of life and property. In such a short time, people are also difficult to alert and relief and relief preparations.
The European Space Agency (ESA) says it was the third such Estroid discovered this year to be detected some time ago. Earlier in September, 2024 RW1 was exploded over the Estroid Filippines. And in January 2024 BX1 was exploded in the sky of Germany.

According to NASA, they are also called small planets. Just as all the planets of our solar system circles the Sun, similarly Estroids revolve around the Sun. About 4.6 billion years ago, the remaining rocky remains from the early formation of our solar system are Estroid. Scientists have so far detected 11 lakh 13 thousand 527 Estroids.
