That's a truly impressive picture and makes you realise how small and delicate we are when that thing is 'only' 2.5 miles across, middle-ish for asteroids.
I am amazed to find out that if you could gather all the asteroids together they would only make about a quarter of the moon
While space is incredibly big, things in it are incredibly small and even our local space is mostly empty.
Sorry to be a pedant but while I was searching for actual data on the size it seems the picture is actually of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, Rosetta is the craft that landed there.
