These objects are tracked and are NOT on a collision course with Earth. “If it hits” is a hypothetical to show scale.

How bigiEstimated from brightness and an assumed albedo. Radar or a spacecraft visit would tighten it.
43m
range 32–71 m
How closeiLD = lunar distance (~384,400 km). The closest the object's path brings it to Earth's centre.
0.00LD
range ≈0 km
How fastiVelocity relative to Earth at closest approach.
0km/s
CompositioniInferred from spectral type. Drives whether an impact would airburst or reach the ground.
Stony
range Stony (assumed)

Impact energyiKinetic energy converted to TNT-equivalent, with the size and speed ranges propagated through.
1.9 Mt
range 772 kt – 8.4 Mt
Where that sits
Hiroshima
Chelyabinsk
Tunguska
Tsar Bomba
At this size and speed it would most likely airburst high in the atmosphere — energy between Chelyabinsk 2013 (~0.45 Mt) and Tunguska 1908 (~12 Mt), shown as a bracket, not a single number.
