QUOTE (jski423 @ Nov 18 2005, 09:36 PM) Since the only purpose of these images are to show scale, some artistic licence was taken to make them more attractive. Celestia was used to create the idvidual images with textures taken from various sources to include but not limited to, Nasa/JPL and Steve Albers along with some I've created myself. OK!! That's just great but if you don't mind ;I have one question: -Why did you write radiuses instead of diameters ? Maybe this is the "Stupid question of the day"..... -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Maybe this is the "Stupid question of the day"..... No, not a stupid question. I'm just used to working with radius versus diameters. When I put this together a while ago it wasn't meant for distribution, I made it for myself and my daughter to get her interested in the Solar System. I didn't bother to update anything before posting here. I am sure this is pretty common knowledge and I don't mean to isult anyone's inteligence but just multiply the radius by 2 to get the diameter. For smaller bodies I have used the maximum radius and not the mean. Like I said do what you would like with these and if diameter is what you like you are free to change it. Just do not take credit for it. |
