I would say no solar system object is nearly that dense. Ice would be about
1000 less dense
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to mathamatics and even with out the calculations you posted, my iddy-biddy pathetic internal math processing brain knew it was an impossible claim the article made, lol. Would this not make the density of this thing near that of a neutron star?
