    The apparent size, as I understood, was a tick of the camera lens. They aren’t really that large.

      Right. They’re using lens foreshortening to make it appear much larger. But we didn’t know that back then until after furiously googling in terror after seeing that picture.

      That picture is two of them together. They do get pretty big though.
