Moons of the solar system to scale with the Earth. 1 pixel = 25 km.
Sources: This image is primarily based on Image:Moons of solar system.jpg, which is a copy of a NASA compilation found at http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/display.cfm?IM_ID=2823
However, User:Deuar has also made the following subsequent modifications to better reflect current knowledge:
- Charon was far too small, and Image:Charon_plutoface.png was scaled and used to rectify this.
- Proteus was added, Image:Proteus (Voyager 2).jpg was used
- Noise in the Nereid image was color-filtered out
- Ariel was only partially seen, so NASA image http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA01351.jpg was used
- Similarly, Rhea and Tethys had bad quality images, and Image:Rhea hi-res PIA07763.jpg as well as the NASA image http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA06625.jpg were scaled and inserted instead
- Phobos, Deimos, and Dactyl were far too large to be in scale, and this was rectified.
- Hyperion, was too large, so the newer Cassini image http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA07740.jpg was used and scaled.
- The moon image was distorted (elongated in the horizontal direction), http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA00305.jpg was used
- Satellites of Trans-Neptunian objects greater than ~250 km in diameter were added (synthetic images)
- Inserted scale text and modified title.
