During 2009 we have completed the simulation of the near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) synthetic population to test the efficiency of an optimized survey search strategy. The network of users contributing computing resources has grown continuously, well beyond the level necessary to secure the computational power required by this investigation.

The story is here. For a picture of one fragment, open this PDF file at page 19.

We have prepared a short animation, showing the Earth as viewed by the asteroid 2008 TC3. The asteroid is reaching Earth from the night side, and enters the Earth's shadow cone around 1:50 UTC.

This is just to give you a heads up. A very small asteroid (diameter less than 5 meters) is expected to enter into Earth's atmosphere in the area of northern Sudan around 2008 Oct 07 0246 UTC. Given its size, the object is not expected to reach the ground, and as such does not pose any threat.
