Asteroid 349507 (2008 QY) is around 1.2 kilometers in diameter, or around 1,000 capybaras – large enough that an impact event (which won't happen now) could be a worldwide catastrophe.

While the asteroid is traveling too far to pose any risk to the Earth, a possible impact event with it could become a worldwide catastrophe.

    Is 1,000 capybaras equal to 10,000 guinea pigs or is it 99,729.372456 guinea pigs? I’m bad at conversions.

      It depends on your motivation to pack them in the allotted space.
