Asteroid 2007 WD5

I was looking for some information on the size of this near earth object. If it actually collides with Mars next month, I wonder how large if the dust plume would be, how much of the surface will be obscured? I know this is all theoretical, but fin to think about none the less.<br /><br />Now that we have cameras on the ground, orbiting the planet and locally with more “reach†than in any other time in history, I can help but hope for a direct impact. <br />
