I'm too stoned to go looking for the citation but I read earlier that the explosion was the SIZE OF EARTH. Which even when I wasn't stoned, sounded quite remarkable.
edit: whoa, this article mentions the same thing. Even uses the word remarkable.
"Something remarkable to consider is that the apparent size of the flash is almost the size of Earth, which is tiny next to the giant gas planet. For reference, about three Earths could fit inside Jupiter's Great Red Spot, which is also visible."

I'm amazed and scared shitless at the same time. The scale of the impact reminds me that Earth is just a tiny fart existing on borrowed time.
