Crimson Desert, an upcoming open-world RPG developed by Pearl Abyss, is set to be twice the size of Skyrim and larger than Red Dead Redemption 2, featuring expansive terrains, sky islands, and various gameplay mechanics, with a release date of March 19, 2026.
The latest trailer for 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' reveals that Galactus will be approximately 450 feet tall when he first appears in the MCU, making him one of the largest beings in the franchise, with his size potentially changing throughout the film, reflecting his comic book portrayal as a cosmic entity capable of altering his size dramatically.
A mathematician calculated that if all humans were compressed into a single sphere, it would be just under one kilometer in diameter, roughly the size of three Eiffel Towers stacked vertically, providing a surprising perspective on the physical scale of humanity.
Caleb Williams' official combine measurements have put to rest rumors about his height and hand size, showing that he is close in size to Aaron Rodgers and has similar hand size to Justin Fields. With longer arms and larger hands than Marvin Harrison Jr., and weighing more, concerns about his height and size affecting his performance at the next level should be dismissed.
An asteroid the size of a football stadium, about 890 feet in size, just passed by Earth and is expected to return in 2032. At its closest point, it was about 1,770,000 miles away from the planet. While not considered a "planet killer," asteroids of this size have the potential to wipe out cities if they make contact with Earth. This asteroid, discovered in 2008, is not expected to return until around 2032.
The largest individual snow crystal ever observed measured 10 millimeters (0.39 inches) from tip to tip, according to Professor of Physics at Caltech Dr Kenneth Libbrecht. While reports suggest that snowflakes as large as 1 ft 3 in (38 cm) wide and 8 in (20 cm) thick have been seen, these may have been clumps of many snow crystals. Snow crystals are the result of water freezing from vapor to ice, while snowflakes can be any icy lump falling from the sky. Snow crystal enthusiasts can observe and identify different crystalline structures by following tips from Libbrecht, such as wearing something warm with a dark sleeve, using a magnifier, and familiarizing themselves with different types of snowflakes.
A man who paid to reserve a Tesla Cybertruck got a close look at the vehicle at a Tesla showroom in California and was surprised by its sheer size. Despite being slightly smaller than the prototype models, the Cybertruck is still longer than the Ford F-150 and has a kerb weight of nearly three and a half tons. Car safety experts have raised concerns about the vehicle's build, particularly the use of thick stainless steel, which could cause more damage to pedestrians and cyclists in a collision. The Cybertruck's design continues to divide opinions, with some loving it and others expressing concerns about its size and potential risks to other road users.
The largest recorded snowflakes, measuring 15 inches in width and nearly 8 inches in thickness, were spotted in Montana in 1887. However, these colossal flakes were actually clusters of ice crystals that had collided together. The typical size of a single snow crystal is much smaller, with the largest observed being about 10 millimeters in diameter. The main limit on snow crystal size is the fragility of larger crystals, which break apart easily in windy conditions. Snow crystals can take on a variety of shapes depending on temperature and humidity, ranging from simple prisms to intricate rosettes and dendrites.
Israel's geography and small size have played a significant role in the decades-long conflict with its neighboring nations. While its compactness allows for quick mobilization of resources, it also makes the country vulnerable to attacks. The recent rocket attack by Hamas highlighted the dangers of Israel's size, with residents having only seconds to seek safety. Israel has adapted with defense systems like Iron Dome, but its enemies have also adjusted to its small size and density.
The vastness of the universe is unimaginable, with distances between celestial objects spanning billions of light-years. Even our solar system, on a scaled-down model, is mind-bogglingly large. The Milky Way is just one of over 100 billion galaxies, and the universe's diameter is estimated to be at least 93 billion light-years. It is possible that the universe is infinite in size, and its expansion is accelerating over time. The immense distances make it highly unlikely for us to encounter extraterrestrial life in our daily lives.
The world's largest national park is Northeast Greenland National Park, covering 972,000 square kilometers (375,000 square miles), larger than all but 29 of the United Nations' member states. Other notable large national parks include Chiribiquete National Park in Colombia, Munga-Thirri-Simpson Desert National Park in Australia, Sanjiangyuan National Park in China, Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland, Namib Naukluft National Park in Namibia, and the Ross Sea Marine Protected Area in Antarctica. These parks boast diverse landscapes, including ice sheets, rainforests, deserts, and marine environments, and are home to a wide range of wildlife.
NASA has revealed that five large asteroids, including Asteroid 2023 RP2 and Asteroid 2023 QE8, are approaching Earth today. These asteroids range in size from 41 feet to 170 feet and will come as close as 0.483 million km to 5.84 km to our planet. The closest approach is expected to occur on September 10.
Scientists have discovered the remains of a new species of whale, Perucetus colossus, in Peru that lived nearly 40 million years ago. Based on the partial skeleton found, researchers estimate that this ancient whale could have been even heavier than the modern blue whale, which is currently considered the largest and heaviest animal ever. While the biggest recorded blue whale weighed 190 tons, the estimated weight range for Perucetus colossus is between 85 and 340 tons, potentially making it significantly larger. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the size and evolution of cetaceans.
The main reason electric vehicles (EVs) haven't gained widespread popularity in the US is not due to charging infrastructure or range anxiety, but rather because automakers have not produced larger EVs that cater to the needs of American consumers. However, with upcoming releases like the Kia EV9, Volvo EX90, and Cadillac Escalade IQ, automakers are targeting the demand for larger family-oriented EVs. By offering bigger EVs, automakers have the opportunity to attract more female buyers and expand their customer base beyond early adopters. While there are already midsize-plus electric SUVs available, some consumers still find them too small for their needs. The desire for larger vehicles poses challenges in terms of practicality and safety, but automakers believe that offering bigger EVs will help drive adoption among American consumers.
The author initially found the size of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra comically large compared to the Asus Zenfone 10, but was won over by the camera's versatility and performance. Despite the inconvenience of its size, the S23 Ultra remains the most enjoyable, versatile, and powerful camera on any current smartphone.
