To put that in perspective: Chelyabinsk meteor was the size of a ball 30-corgi wide and weighing in excess 78000 baby elephants, moving remarkable 2100 times faster than an African swallow.

    A corgi-sized meteor weighing as much as 4 baby elephants reads as metals to me.

It gets better. If that corgi-sized meteor was the size of Earth, its electrons would have 60 nanometre radiuses!
