Reply to comment by Bubbagumpredditor in The James Webb Space Telescope just found an asteroid by total accident, its smallest object yet by pecika

This object was about 200 meters wide. The Dino-killer (does it have an official name?) was about 6 miles across and roughly the same size as Mount Everest.
