Asteroid 2008 TC3: Estimated path and altitude of the meteor in red, with the possible location for the METEOSAT IR fireball (bolide) as orange crosshairs and the infrasound detection of the explosion in green.

• ... that 2008 TC3 was an asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere on October 7, 2008; that it exploded at an estimated 37 kilometers (23 mi) above the Nubian Desert in Sudan; that some 600 meteorites, weighing a total of 10.5 kilograms (23.1 lb), were recovered, some containing nanodiamonds; and that it was the first time that an asteroid impact had been predicted before its entry into the atmosphere as a meteor?

• ... that the Tunguska Event Preservation Society offered a tour of the 2008 TC3 meteor fall as a benefit to new members during its 2020 membership drive?

• ... that a derangement is a permutation of the elements of a set such that no element appears in its original position; and that the principle of derangement was first considered by mathematician Pierre Raymond de Montmort in 1708, and that he solved it in 1713, as did Nicholas Bernoulli at about the same time?
