Terrible headline due to scaling factors. Is it a "killer asteroid" since we're measuring in "killer whales"? Do we expect it to break in half and sink into the atmosphere Titanic-ally? Does someone have an orcastick, which is like a yardstick but measures orca lengths instead of yards?
Seriously, I'm American but I still know how long a meter is. Why not just say 'an 830 meter wide asteroid'? Now I keep imagining a meteor in the shape of a giant whale.
