4 mile crater, 2300 MT of TNT equiv. so about 45 Tsar Bombas.
- H8crilA 3y agoWhere did you find the mass/size?
- ortusdux 3y agoI had to guess without albedo data, but an H of 19.2 puts it in the 0.4 to 0.5 km range, so 400m could be on the conservative side. If it randomly has an albedo of 0.05, it could be as large as 0.96km https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/ast_size_est.html https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/ast_size_est.html
