The rock that made the Meteor Crater was between 100 and 160 feet in diameter.

The Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet had a pre-discovery interaction with Jupiter which broke it into pieces, and when discovered was on a terminal trajectory. The opportunity to observe and/or record such large impacts (without having them hit the Earth anyway) got most fired up — yet, even a short time before the impacts began, Nature published a paper that basically denigrated the overall, uh, impact of the impacts.

The author could barely have been more wrong. I wonder what his FR nick is?
