12028Effin' awesome. That bolide's packing serious heat. At 500km in radius and a density of say 3000kg/m3 it would have a mass of density*volume=3000*(4/3)*pi*(5*10^5)^3~1.5*10^21 kg. At minimum it'll be traveling at earths escape velocity which is ~10km/s. So it'll hit with a kinetic energy of 0.5*mass*velocity^2 = about 10^29 Joules.
For reference, the nuke that hit hiroshima had a yield of 6*10^13 Joules. THIS EVENT IS ENERGETICALLY EQUIVALENT TO MORE THAN ~ 1,000,000,000,000,000 HIROSHIMA's GOING OFF AT ONCE!
