Small, harmless asteroid burns up in Earth’s atmosphere over the Philippines.

AP reports: "The asteroid — about 3 feet (1 meter) across — was spotted by astronomers in Arizona and broke apart over the coast of the Philippines hours after the discovery. This space rock, dubbed 2024 RW1, is only the ninth to have been spotted before its impact."
