Caption: Figure 1.

Same-scale images of the bouldery surfaces of (a) stony asteroid Dimorphos, which has a diameter D ∼ 0.16 km; (b) the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu, D ∼ 0.9 km; and (c) the stony asteroid Eros, D ∼ 16 km. The boulder density on the surfaces of asteroids is heterogenous; however, larger asteroids tend to have a lower number of large boulders per unit area.
