Only 78 days to Stein encounter ! I can't believe I forgot about this event.

I second that sentiment - nice job Emily. It's very useful to see these bodies at the same scale - it underlines the point that they really are all unique worlds in their own right.
The image reminds me of another similar, excellent montage put together by Exploitcorporations of the smaller Saturnian moons and posted here I can't wait to see how Steins (and later, Lutetia Ceres and Vesta) fit into the mix. Great times! |
