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

Nice idea to put Steins close to Anne Frank, there are quite alike. Trouble will come with Lutecia's fly by! You'll have to change your scale... or do the same we can see on a representation of the Solar System : the Sun is shown only partialy. Thanks a lot anyway, this is an important piece of work -------------------- |

Emily - If you're up to it, an expansion of this with the best Ceres and Vesta images to date (and perhaps with a round place holder for 21 Lutetia) would be wonderful! -------------------- |

I think I'll wait on that for better data on Vesta and Ceres. In the meantime, you can see the current status of a related project I'm working on, to look at scales of stuff in the solar system, starting here: http://planetary.org/explore/topics/compar...le_1000000.html It's far from complete, has various formatting issues, and breaks down toward the end. Also I notice that my Prometheus image seems to be mis-scaled. But it seems appropriate to post it in this thread anyway. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
