Asteroid sizes again

[ffutures]

I decided to go with a real picture of the Moon and shaded blobs for the asteroids in the end:



Since there appear to be no better pictures of the asteroids it ought to do.

later: Realised that the Moon picture is in copyright, not a public domain NASA image, so I've substituted one I took last year. Not quite as good, but it's going to be reproduced fairly small anyway so I don't think it matters much.

Wikipedia has a photo of Ceres (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet)) (via Hubble) at least. Pretty blurred but still.

I've seen it, but there's really no detail there, I might as well go with a fake.

Having said that, today's Apod picture is a really good picture of Eros. But there's nothing comparable for the "big four" asteroids as far as I know.
