"Asteroid 2025 MA90 is set to fly past the Earth on Tuesday, July 15. With an estimated diameter of 88.8 meters, that comes out to around 145 Elmos, thanks to measurements taken by Drew Brees.
"An asteroid the size of around 145 Elmos is set to pass the Earth on Tuesday, July 15, according to NASA's asteroid tracker."
Almost? Metric system measurements were based on the meter (one ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole through two French cities, one of them, Paris I think). Imperial system foot was originally the length of the King of England's foot. There is nothing particularly about one superior to the other, but at least they are not based on cartoon characters.
