Details:
Astronomer K. Sarneczky from GINOP-KHK, Piszkesteto station, discovered another Earth impactor, approx. 3 hours before it entered the atmosphere just west of Berlin, Germany. I was able to submit to the Minor Planet Center some astrometry, before it became too fast.
Then I started to obtain some trails; the last one shows the asteroid, now designated 2024 BX1, when it entered Earth shadow.
It's just a crop of the original image. The trail should continue toward the top of the image, but after a decrease in brightness, it suddendly disappeared.
Images were taken remotely from Schiaparelli Observatory near Varese, Italy (MPC 204) by Luca Buzzi and Gianni Galli.
