That’s wild. Thanks for the info.
How big is it?
Friend of mine thinks this is a photo taken in a studio or something. What can I say to make her realize this is real?
Please, no pessimism. Looking for actual answers.
Dimensions

As for how to convince her, I just don’t know.
Maybe one way is to suggest to her that there isn’t any reason to fake it.
Actually, that is a very good point!
gee that thing is 2.5 miles across! Big!
Even though it’s in black and white only, it’s an amazing photo of an impressive rock.
Thanks colorado tanker, yet another extra to APoD members.
