And mashable has click bait from time to time.
Wikipedia just has a lot of technical information.
I'm also not sure it's a true planet killer, not saying it wouldn't do serious damage but I think it's not a total annihilator I think it's shy a km or two.
I think more mainstream sources would jump on this if it were really worth worrying about. Unless government is trying to avert panic but even then we have 6 months to prepare they had a week in Armageddon... Lol.
I do hope they don't just blow it up if that's the case I think moving it via thrusters off course would be more effective.
