The DART spacecraft crashing into the asteroid Dimorphos certainly was an exciting moment of space science and history caught on camera. But watching the craft smash into the small asteroid at 14,000 miles an hour, with no scale of reference, it was impossible to tell how big the boulders and rocks that we saw seconds before impact.
According to estimates, the last frame we saw was 100m across. From that, Joe Scott of Answers with Joe created this comparison with an American Football field to give us a better sense a scale. Much bigger material that I thought.
