硕大 means 'huge, enormous, massive' — it's a more emphatic and formal/literary way to say 'very big' compared to 大. You'll most often encounter it in written Chinese or formal speech, modifying large objects like buildings, stones, or body parts. Unlike 大, 硕大 is rarely negated or used with degree adverbs.
