That asteroid was a bit, shall we say, BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

About the size of the moon based on its ability to hold a sphere.

I could be wrong but I think only about 1 asteroid any where near the size of the moon has ever collided with the earth.

yes and no. first the moon is 3400km this was only 500km. but smaller objects than the moon like Ceres or Pluto are ~spheres. also at that scale the impactors are arguably no longer asteroids but planetesimals. the largest impact is thought to be from a planetesimals 7000km in diameter about the size of mars.

2nd ... or . . . are both acceptable. just in traditional print the latter is more identifiable as a ellipsis.
