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 ?

huh.gif blink.gif huh.gif blink.gif huh.gif

Maybe this is the "Stupid question of the day"..... unsure.gif

I know it is a pretty common practice - many tables use radius instead of diameter. I am not really sure if it is just a preference thing or if there is a real reason, but it does mean you have to be careful when comparing the size of two worlds to make sure you aren't comparing a radius to a diameter and thinking both are diameters or radii.,
