The pictures here are to give some idea of the size of the tiny asteroid Itokawa.
It's about 1-1/2 times as long as an aircraft carrier and, if we count end
zones, about 5 football fields long, 3 high and 2 wide. The asteroid is seen
here oriented diagonally to our line of sight, so it doesn't appear as long as
it really is.
