What class asteroid is Gilly!

So... I was thinking about the earlier thread I did on what class asteroid Dres :) Then I looked at the wiki-page on Gilly and it said it was a captured asteroid.

 

So what class is Gilly? I decided to bust out the calculator!

 

According to this page, the formula for asteroid mass by class is 

M=e^1.5*x

x being the class

M being mass 

------------------------

This means you can get the class if you have the mass

WARNING MATH AHEAD
________________________

Gilly weighs 

1.2420512*10^17 kg or 1.2420512*10^14 metric tons 

1.2420512*10^14=e^1.5*x

Log(1.2420512*10^14= Log(e^1.5x

32.45 roughly

32.45/1.5= bout 21.63

Rounding up, 22 or V

 

Gilly is a class V asteroid that looks like a mountainous potato.

Yeah

I know the game engine won't let me do it. but Gilly is so cute I want to take it with me.

BTW does anyone have a huge inter-dimensional rift on Gilly? I have huge crack in the polygon surface, and its actually "full of stars!"

According to Starstrider42 (developer of Custom Asteroids) Gilly would be Q class. Is one of you not accounting for something?

Fun fact: game code calls asteroids 'potatoroids'.

Depends what base the logarithm is in, I used base e, but I can redo my calculations. AFTER math homework. :(
