How big is Ida? This image gives us a more tangible idea of the asteroid's size by superimposing it on a map of the Greater Los Angeles freeway system. Its 56-km (35-mile) length is equivalent to driving from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena to Long Beach. The smaller visible craters are about the size of the Rose Bowl. (P43077)
