“NASA estimates the object is roughly 10 to 30 feet in diameter.”

Certain areas of earth could use an impact of that magnitude.

So now we know a 30-foot rock can sneak up on us and not be seen until the last second. No surprise. But one question I’ve never seen answered is, how big is the largest rock (moving at, say, 30 mi/sec) which could sneak up on us and not be seen until it is too late? To avoid detection until the very last minute, a large rock would probably have to come in from the direction of the Sun and so be lost in the glare. Anyhoo... 300ft?... 3000ft?... One mile? The dinosaur in me is dying to know.

(Thanks for the ping!)
