b'Hungarian astronomer and geography teacher Kriszti\\xe1n S\\xe1rneczky was asteroid hunting in the constellation of Lynx with 0.6m (24 inch) telescope at the Piszk\\xe9stet\\u0151 station in the M\\xe1tra Mountains when an unknown object streaked through a set of his images. It is the 7th such object to be tracked in outer space and then observed to enter our atmosphere. A tiny asteroid the size of 2023 CX1 enters the Earth\\u2019s atmosphere about once a month and gives asteroid hunters a chance to practice for a big one.'
