Maybe we could recover this thread by actually making some size comparisons from scratch! They would be highly informative - everyone accepts that, I'm sure. A whole series is needed, really - from the (traditional) planets down to the comet nuclei and asteroids etc., at appropriate scales.

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Nov 17 2005, 03:13 PM) Maybe we could recover this thread by actually making some size comparisons from scratch! They would be highly informative - everyone accepts that, I'm sure. A whole series is needed, really - from the (traditional) planets down to the comet nuclei and asteroids etc., at appropriate scales. I'm working on exactly this sort of thing for the Society's website -- you can see the work in progress here. I've created sets of images within our image library for the scales: {1,000 km/pixel, 500 km/pixel, 200 km/pixel, 100 km/pixel...down to 1 km/pixel}. I haven't gotten to the very smallest bodies yet (just a smattering below Hyperion's size) but I'm working on it. The current page only shows the 1,000, 100, and 10 km/pixel images. Since this seems to be a popular idea maybe I should throw together a page at each of the scales I created images for. I find it really informative to be able to compare all the little bodies this way. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
