what sort of damage would a rock of this size do?
because 50meters is absolutely microscopic in terms of the universe
Quoting: Skuzzlebutt Here you go: Earth impact calculator [ link to impact.ese.ic.ac.uk] You do the math... But DA14 isn't a threat at all. 14,000 miles is still a big distance. The object is merely 50 m big. Or, as NASA said, twice that size (a factor of 2), meaning four times bigger in volume (pi * R ^2). Oops, 4 * pi * radius2.
