在扫描近地天体的天空时,匈牙利天文学家Krisztián Sárneczky首先在2023年2月12日20:18:07 UTC拍摄了一米大小的太空岩石,现在编目为2023 CX1。这是在它撞击地球大气层前大约7小时发生的。它的预测轨迹为流星观测者创造了难得的机会,最后一刻的计划导致了这张壮观的火球图像,这张照片是在荷兰拍摄的,当时2023 CX1在法国北部上空蒸发并破裂。值得注意的是,这是Sárneczky第二次发现撞击小行星,而2023 CX1只是在成功预测撞击地球之前发现的第七颗小行星。它最近成为第三个从这样的物体上发现陨石的物体。这个火球是在臭名昭著的车里雅宾斯克流星闪后近10年的一天被目击到的。

While scanning the skies for near-Earth objects Hungarian astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky first imaged the meter-sized space rock now cataloged as 2023 CX1 on 12 February 2023 at 20:18:07 UTC. That was about 7 hours before it impacted planet Earth's atmosphere. Its predicted trajectory created a rare opportunity for meteor observers and a last minute plan resulted in this spectacular image of the fireball, captured from the Netherlands as 2023 CX1 vaporized and broke up over northern France. Remarkably it was Sárneczky's second discovery of an impacting asteroid, while 2023 CX1 is only the seventh asteroid to be detected before being successfully predicted to impact Earth. It has recently become the third such object from which meteorites have been recovered. This fireball was witnessed almost 10 years to the day following the infamous Chelyabinsk Meteor flash.
