I'd figure those rocks around the center of the picture are about the size of a medium plane~

OSIRIS narrow-angle camera image taken on 6 June 2016, when Rosetta was 22.9 km from the centre of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The scale is 0.40 m/pixel at the comet and the image measures about 820 m..

The coming years will be epic for cosmic picture lovers, we should soon get some epic pictures from Juno, that just a day ago entered Jupiter orbit.
