Interesting stuff. The article didn’t really state a size, is this object > 500 mi. in diameter? That’d put it in the same class as Ceres, the largest asteroid.

No one will pay much attention unless it gets a gravitational slingshot into the inner Solar System. ;-)

from the article:

Scientists believe the object is only 50-100 kilometers (30-60 miles) across.
