This Discover Magazine site has a version of this same photo, identifying it as the crater Psyche. ( If you imagine Eros as a ballet slipper, Psyche is on the center of its arched sole. ) Another illustration shows the layout of Eros with a 5km scale. I think the width of the APOD photo is about 3km. That puts the boulder maybe in the 100 meter range.
