    True, quick math that's 4225x heavier than pure uranium, but still 666x lighter than neutron star soup. No material holds together at that density without a stars worth of gravity

    Sorry, I’m having trouble understanding. Could you express that in approximate number of cans of Dr. Pepper?

    It's the size of a dr. Pepper and the weight of 3 baby elephants.

    It's also the size of a baby elephant foot and the weight of 728 cans of dr. Pepper.

    NASA originally published that it was around 1000 pounds and two feet across. Then Jpost sensationalized it. A ball of iron that size would be about 1800 pounds.
