While the asteroid is traveling too far to pose any risk to the Earth, a possible impact event with it could become a worldwide catastrophe.

    One capybara weighs on average 108lbs or about 16.5 AR-15s fully loaded.

    So the asteroid weighs roughly as much as 422,559 AR-15s with a loaded 20 rd magazine. (Warning my math is bad as I’m American.)

      It looks like they are using the length of a capybara, which is just over a meter not the weight. So it’s 1,446 ar15s in diameter.

        But how many Olympic swimming pools is that? Or is that a unit of volume… sorry, I think I’m looking for the number of football fields, yes how many of those is it in diameter?
