Guys do tend to exaggerate their size.

That was a comet. And was the dumbest plot ever created in a movie.
Armageddon was an asteroid, tardo. Deep Impact was a comet.

I learned some pretty neat facts about Gibraltar after looking it up due to this thread. That's about it.

TOUCHDOWN! ROSETTA’S PHILAE PROBE LANDS ON COMET 12 November 2014
ESA’s Rosetta mission has soft-landed its Philae probe on a comet, the first time in history that such an extraordinary feat has been achieved. After a tense wait during the seven-hour descent to the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, the signal confirming the successful touchdown arrived on Earth at 16:03 GMT (17:03 CET). The confirmation was relayed via the Rosetta orbiter to Earth and picked up simultaneously by ESA’s ground station in Malargüe, Argentina and NASA’s station in Madrid, Spain. The signal was immediately confirmed at ESA’s Space Operations Centre, ESOC, in Darmstadt, and DLR’s Lander Control Centre in Cologne, both in Germany.
