The high amphibole content of AhS suggests the fragment broke off a parent asteroid that’s never left meteorites on Earth before.
That have been found by someone capable of testing for AhS. Just a “minor” qualification.
Hubris, hubris, hubris.

I know there's been a lot of talk about how the tiny size of the covid virus means that cloth masks are almost totally ineffective because of the spaces between the fibers.
But please, if not for covid, mask up for the asteroid because surely these relatively larger masses will not be able penetrate our masks if ALL of us were them 100% of the time.

I had one once, a big one. Witch Hazel dabbed on made it disappear overnight. Phew!

Yeah, I adopted a Polar Bear at the zoo, he used to sit on the ice too long and developed Polaroids.

a four meter wide meteor is hardly a “dwarf planet”

The addition of a styrofoam bicycle helmet would help also.

Haven’t read the full article yet, only the excerpt. What’s the name of the asteroid?
I will freak out if it’s named Wormwood.

i must have misread the article then, thanks for the update.
Ceres is 940km diameter, pretty darned big
but either way, I would not wish to be hit on the head by either space rock, HA! I am reputed to be hard headed but either space rock would at least hurt I am sure
