Live in the Philippines? It might get a little brighter than is expected in a few hours

CAQTDL2, a ~1m diameter asteroid, will enter over the skies of Luzon Island, Philippines no later than 16:41 UTC. It might arrive a few minutes earlier, so if you've got clear skies (or even if you don't), have a look and enjoy the show!

You can report activity like this to the American Meteor Society at the following site:

There may have been clouds, but that didn't stop several lucky viewers from recording the spectacular death of a tiny, tiny asteroid
