Pete, List,

Here is a very large pixel-count "official" to-scale
image of all 12 planets, good if you want to print
out a copy. The only change NASA made to the
original IAU diagram (no longer available) was to
"segregate" the dwarf planets. Hey! We all believe
in segregation, right?

(6032 x 3395 pixels)

These are are also a goodly number of pixels:

Everything on here (except Charon) is a Planet:

Most of these are planets; they're closely grouped, and there's about 20:

12 New Planet Candidates, not all of which made the Cut:

3 New Planet Candidates, 2 of which made the Cut:

Some of them are "dwarf" planets, just like our Sun
is a "dwarf" star, right? My idea is that everybody who
thinks "dwarf" planets are not "real" planets be required
to take a hiking trip around the equator of Ceres, the
smallest "dwarf" planet. All they have to carry with them
is 3-4 months of food, water, and air -- it's "only" 2000
miles. Nice scenery, though.

Hello list,
Awhile back someone had a link to the neatest link showing the size of
objects in our solar system ranging from the sun down to asreriod size. It
had about 20 objects.
Anybody got a copy of the photo or it's link?
Pete
