    > previously unseen lunar crater that’s a whopping 728 feet across, more than twice the length of an American football field.

    For the rest of the world, it's about 222m.

    FFS, just use metric! Apparently that's about 1.7m.

        We can always translate to baguettes, Fiat 500s, and Oktoberfest steins for our European friends.
