Small asteroid to harmlessly impact Earth's atmosphere: NASA

A very small asteroid will harmlessly impact Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).

The asteroid, approximately 1 meter wide, was discovered by NASA and ESA's near-Earth object study teams Wednesday morning. It is expected to harmlessly impact Earth's atmosphere at 12:40 pm Eastern Time and create a fireball off the east coast of the northern Philippines, according to NASA.

ESA said the asteroid will strike Earth's atmosphere over the Philippines near Luzon Island.
