This is an excellent way of comparing the moons of Saturn - the visualisation is pretty accurate as regards the look of the various satellites (as far as is known)

It underlines how accurate was the camera pointing when encounters of the smaller ring moons were planned during the Cassini mission.

There is a version for Jupiter and others too.

Brilliant.
