That thing was cooking at 20,000 kilometers/sec!
better luck next time
Wasn't detected until after it passed. Only 1.5m in diameter though, wouldn't have done any damage if it hit.
And which is likely also why it wasn't detected until it came so close.
What was the asteroid's mass?
It was apparently only about 1.9m across. So not massive enough.
About 1km shy of saving us from this absurd timeline we're in.
The energy of a snorlax being stored in a poke ball if released at once would kill all life on earth.
Let's just hope none of the asteroids have pokeballs in them
