Summary

Description

Moons of the solar system to scale with the Earth. 1 pixel = 25 km.

Source

from en wikipedia HERE where the text reads 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, en: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 en:Trans-Neptunian objects greater than ~250 km in diameter were added (synthetic images)
Inserted scale text and modified title.
