There wouldn’t be a splash. All liquid (and solid, too) in the vicinity would vaporize instantly. There would, however, be an expanding shock wave visible as a disturbance in the atmosphere, but later — not at the instant of time depicted here. The asteroid (planetoid?) would vaporize in the next milliseconds, too. A truer picture of this instant would be just the asteroid and the earth with no visible reaction. With something of this size, there might be enough of a tidal effect to tear it apart before it got this close to Earth… but I’m too lazy to run the numbers. Looking forward to your analysis, Doctroid.

Other than the fact that the “account has exceeded its CPU quota” so I get nothing but a broken icon? No idea.

Yeah, me too now.

The asteroid seems big and the wave seems ridiculously big.
