Asteroid passed just 300 km above Antarctica today

Wasn't detected until after it passed. Only 1.5m in diameter though, wouldn't have done any damage if it hit.
- And which is likely also why it wasn't detected until it came so close.
better luck next time
What was the asteroid's mass?
- It was apparently only about 1.9m across. So not massive enough.
  
  About 1km shy of saving us from this absurd timeline we're in.
That thing was cooking at 20,000 kilometers/sec!
