Can you see the asteroid on the sky with your naked eyes?
Just curious. I was wandering on my lawn in middle of the night just waiting the asteroid to show up.

Dont think so, that would be cool. But Meteors can be a small piece of an asteroid, some put on quite a show. Almost the next best thing.
Seen many through the years, including near fireballs that fizzle out, trailing embers like a flicked cigarette butt.

Jul -September, then October, are great times for meteor showers. https://www.almanac.com/content/meteor-shower-calendar
Theres sites allowing you to even see man-made, potential meteors, buzzing around earth. They wind up coming back in large flaming chunks. Rocket boosters, satellites tanks, etc. Those u can see.
