More evidence that multiple impacts 12,800 yrs ago erased history: nature.com Researchers find more evidence of catastrophic cosmic impact 12 800 years ago A group of researchers discovered more evidence of a catastrophic cosmic impact around 12 800 years ago that possibly caused the total destruction of Abu Hureyra in Syria. Before the site was inundated beneath the water of Lake Assad, researchers managed to gather a significant amount of evidence suggesting that Abu Hurayra is the first ancient site to document the direct impacts of a fragmented comet on a human settlement. According to Kenneth, these fragments are part of the same comet that possibly crashed into Earth and exploded in the atmosphere by the end of the Pleistocene epoch.

May has been a busy meteoric month - 05 May 2020 Asteroid sneaks past satellites in one of the closest flybys on record No one saw it coming until it was right on top of us. More like above us, actually A previously unseen asteroid the size of a truck flew about 4,350 miles (7,000 kilometers) over the Pacific Ocean on Monday, making it one of the closest passes by our planet on record. Astronomers had no notice of asteroid 2020 JJ's existence, as it was discovered using the Mt. Lemmon Survey in Arizona right around the time it reached its closest point to us. NASA keeps an online database of close approaches by asteroids and other "near-Earth objects" going back to 1900, and 2020 JJ comes in as the sixth closest approach ever recorded. It should be noted that the top 10 close approaches have all come since 2004. This isn't because asteroids started attacking us in the 21st century. Rather, it says something about how astronomers and their technology are becoming better at spotting ever-smaller and closer asteroids. . . .
