Ejected Boulders

"The 37 ejected boulders range in size from 1 metre to 6.7 metres across, based on Hubble photometry. They are drifting away from the asteroid at around one kilometre per hour. The total mass in these detected boulders is about 0.1% the mass of Dimorphos. The boulders are some of the faintest objects ever imaged in the Solar System."https://esahubble.org/news/heic2307/?lang
