I couldn't agree that you can weigh it (with or without a telescope) or identify its actual composition .
I did see a picture here in this thread of the object passing the asteroid in question . What I did not see is any clear evidence that the asteroid was not perturbed , but am happy to accept assurances from those i have learned to trust , because i have to be . Or do I ?
I will study astronomy further , can you recommend any basic textbooks as it is not exactly taught in schools is it .

Nah I am not wilfully ignorant sir , but sharp as a knife . The two methods described here by which weight is measured/assessed/guestimated dont add up to proof to me , astronomy or not .
Telescopes dont weigh things , neither do presupposed perturbations . It doesnt equal evidence for the claims you have made .

Common sense says it doesnt hold up ; you didnt weigh anything in space neither did anyone else.

lol unless you brought it down here and stuck it in a sling the measurements arent going to make sense anyway .
you've got the axis tilt ,
an absence of good reasons for it all,
bar something heavy being up there .
Or are we going to learn something ?
What does your concept of orbital mechanics tell you about the above ?
