A Reddit post has helped to put the true size of the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos—best known as the target of NASA's DART mission on September 27—into perspective by comparing it to a human.

Dimorphos has attracted global attention over the past two weeks after NASA slammed a small spacecraft into it at around 14,000 miles per hour as a test of our ability to defend Earth from an impending asteroid strike.
