So sorry I missed it!
Same here, Jazzi.
I'd have looked out for it if I'd known, but didn't know anything about it.
* Just found this reply to the question "When was the last time a Meteor hit Earth."
The last known impact of an object of 10 km (6 mi) or more in diameter was at the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago. The energy released by an impactor depends on diameter, density, velocity, and angle.
