Asteroid 349507 (2008 QY) is around 1.2 kilometers in diameter, or around 1,000 capybaras – large enough that an impact event (which won't happen now) could be a worldwide catastrophe.

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.

    i only have had outdoor cats so the house cat unit is meaningless to me. there really should be standardized international unit that everyone agrees to measure things in. using a house cat is as good as using King Charles forearm

      Lol. :)

      Anything that gets measured in housecats doesn’t need 12 digits of precision.

      Forearms are cubits. That’s also a great unit of measurement if you don’t need precision.
