Under ideal conditions, skywatchers may see over 100 meteors per hour, but due to the shower's short peak, most observers are unlikely to see this many shooting stars.
2024 UQ, designated formerly as A11dc6D, was a one-meter meteoroid that struck the Earth's atmosphere and burned up harmlessly on 22 October 2024 above the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. 2024 UQ is the tenth impact event that was successfully predicted, which was discovered by the ATLAS survey.
During meteor showers, many meteors travel through Earth's atmosphere over a short period. Most meteors burn up in space. The few that survive the trip and reach the ground and considered meteorites.
CAMS (the Cameras for All-Sky Meteor Surveillance project) is a NASA-sponsored international project that tracks and triangulates meteors during night-time video surveillance in order to map and monitor meteor showers. Data processing is housed at the Carl Sagan Center of the SETI Institute [1] in California, USA.

There are 1888 near-Earth asteroids listed in the risk table and 41,848 virtual impact dates, so for each asteroid in the risk table, there is an average of about 22 virtual impact dates. Only about 21 objects in the table are large enough, with a diameter greater than about 140 meters, to be considered potentially hazardous objects. The ...
