The latest addition to my collection of books by people I know:
Patrick Michel, "À la rencontre des astéroïdes".
I had known Patrick was featuring #DARTMission results, but he even managed to add in mention of #2023CX1 before the book went to the printers.
And I am not surprised by the references to American movies and British rock music.
As just reported in https://www.facebook.com/groups/1299728060220815/posts/2161635280696751/ by now 14 (!) #meteorites from exploded asteroid #2023CX1 have been collected in #Normandy - here is the latest strewn field prediction map from https://www.strewnify.com/y20230213_02z_31u (where the biggest piece was found has not been disclosed yet but the information was used for updating the map).
Pretty good rocks.

Ramassage des éclats de 2023 CX1 dans le bocage normand

For the record re. the #meteorites from #2023CX1 the independent collectors Steve Arnold and Roberto Vargas had already on February 20th reported finding "the new main mass! A beautiful 178g stone, with a broken face and visible #chondrules" in https://twitter.com/hellospacething/status/1627719795389890560 but Vigie Ciel hadn't included it in their tally published on the 22nd. We'll see how this turns out ...
So far 12 #meteorites from #2023CX1 have been recovered, a big one (90 grams, the first find) and 11 others from 2 to 24 grams: https://www.vigie-ciel.org/2023/02/22/meteorites-normandes-bilan-dune-folle-semaine/ (includes a #strewnfield map).
Meanwhile here is a video summary of the #2023CX1 fall and its seven meteorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvCtJNnFD_w
Yay, according to https://allsky7.groups.io/g/main/message/42 the first #meteorite from the #Texas event has been recovered - and together with another such success in Italy (see http://www.prisma.inaf.it/index.php/2023/02/18/eccola-trovata-la-meteorite-di-san-valentino/ for details) and at least seven meteorites from the French case (with the object #2023CX1 seen before it hit Earth) we have just seen THREE fireballs with collected fresh meteorites in a single week! Each such event is rare but a cluster of three is truly unique in geophysics history, AFAIK.

By now seven (!) meteorites from #2023CX1 have been found: https://twitter.com/VigieCiel/status/1626647526995595274 7 and https://twitter.com/cieletespace/status/1626601702827884545 and https://twitter.com/LouBenoiste/status/1626665332680056837
Looks like an ordinary chondrite?

A potential second meteorite from #2023CX1: https://twitter.com/VigieCiel/status/1626315323564601347 - verification pending.
A detailled article in French how the first #2023CX1 meteorite was found: https://www.vigie-ciel.org/2023/02/15/une-meteorite-normande-issue-de-2023-cx1-retrouvee/. And a summary in English: https://www.imo.net/pieces-of-2023-cx1-recovered-in-normandy/
First meteorites from #2023CX1 found in Normandy.
And I see that @SETIInstitute's Peter Jenniskens did not waste any time traveling over there.

Further calculations are strengthening the case for #meteorites from the asteroid #2023CX1 gone #fireball having reached solid ground in France: see the thread https://twitter.com/scute1133/status/1625288025004466178 and https://twitter.com/strewnify/status/1625629662792523776
Good luck to the meteorite searchers!

Initial flight path simulation for asteroid 2023 CX1 (previously #Sar2667) puts the strewn field just east of Héberville in Normandy region of France. A more detailed map and KMX file will be posted later at http://www.strewnify.com
#2023CX1 Happy hunting!
