Scientists intrigued why idiots thinking it's intriguing that there are rocks floating around in space.

Shit clickbait title, why post it?

I'd like to see the list of scientists 'intrigued' by a flopjack orbiting the sun near the Earth. One of tens of thousands of 'mysteriously intriguing' objects occupying space 'near Earth!'

98' max isn't interesting, it's a rock. I don't even think it would be classified as an asteroid, would it?

I do not believe there is a minimum size for asteroids. They range from a few meters up to Vesta at 530 km or so.
