Asteroid to be harmless fireball over Earth

A meteor, or shooting star, is usually the size of a pebble, or even a grain of sand, burning up in the atmosphere.
This is an article from CNN about a predicted meteor event occuring tonight. The object is only a few meters (about size of a car) and will burn up harmlessly. Should be visible over Europe. North America might be a stretch. If your up between 9:30 and 10:00pm tonight and it's clear, you might want to look up and to the eastern sky. Tracy
