And farther down in the article, we have these two gems.

The previous one, asteroid 2023 CX1, was around the size of two Super Bowl trophies and impacted the Earth near Normandy, France, just seven hours after Sárneczky discovered it.

The first asteroid he discovered right before impact was 2022 EB5, an asteroid around half the size of a giraffe that was spotted just two hours before impacting near Norwegian territory.

So now we can specify lengths to greater precision...

It was X giraffes .Y trophies Z ducks long

I'm up to about 8 or 10 replays.
The world today is starting to make sense to me.

On no, that might be curable if you watch enough soap operas! Throw in a lot of Tic Toc to make sure the cure sticks.
