8:10 GMT: Oleg Malkov, an aerospace scientist at Moscow State University, told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper that the meteorite went undetected by space scanners, likely because it was coming from the direction of the Sun. "We can only register stones coming from the direction of the night sky," he explained. Malkov confirmed that the meteor shower in the Urals was not connected to the 2012DA14 asteroid that will approach Earth in a few hours.

"We can only register stones coming from the direction of the night sky,"
Couldn't they have detected it last night then when it was night time over Russia?

No
because the Earth would not have been facing the sun, where the meteor was coming from.
