Too small to have very much influence. The Moon is around a quarter the diameter of the Earth, and is constantly in pretty close proximity (as astronomical objects go), and is about one percent the Earth’s mass; this little boulder is pretty much nothing, just a kernel of corn in someone’s crap.

Let it HIT the surface, then it would be big trouble. Unless it the impact site were, say, Tehran...

:’)

NICE graphic, Dallas59.
