How to figure out scale in these wonderful images? Here's a cool size comparison with London from the BBC: http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/7675...a_comet_624.jpg |

I can't agree with the BBC graphic. The base unit is 4x2 km, while their graphic conflates the head into the scene. I am at Frankfurt Airport, so can't cut and paste. But Hal Weaver's Slide 51 refers. I have been at every Voyager encounter and more besides. This rocks!
