The Japanese Hayabusa asteroid sample return mission arrived late yesterday evening over Woomera, Australia (1351 UTC). Its small re-entry capsule is the bright point at lower right while the trailing larger spacecraft destructs, hitting the atmosphere at the superorbital speed of natural meteors. Image by staff and students of the Clay Center Observatory aboard a NASA aircraft, posted by NASA/Ames' observing campaign. BBC has a report today on the successful capsule recovery, and [new] also see this. Read more from earlier here and here.

An impact solution, also known as a "virtual impactor" (VI), is not a prediction but rather a possibility derived from a variant orbit calculation that cannot be eliminated yet based on the existing data. Elimination can come quickly with just a little further observation or may take weeks or months, sometimes years. Once superceded or eliminated, a former impact solution has zero relevance to an object's risk. See Jon Giorgini's "Understanding Risk Pages" to learn more.
