Description
English: Comparison of sizes of Gamma Orionis, Algol B, the Sun, and the objects from Image:1e8m comparison Saturn Jupiter OGLE-TR-122b with Uranus Neptune Sirius B Earth Venus.png, to scale. Transparency version.
Date
Source

derived from Paul Stansifer's POV-Ray source files (see below), by me, 84user, using w:en:POV-Ray, w:en:Celestia, and w:en:IrfanView. Transparency version. This is a re-rendering of Paul's Image:1e9m comparison.png, not a direct derivative.

Planetary texture maps were from en:Celestia version 1.5.1 dated 2008-04-06, used under the GPL, version 2, and so makes the whole image GPL-V2. Saturn's rings are adapted from NASA/ESA's Cassini imagery Image:PIA08361 Ring World.png.

84user's contribution (getting textures, partly circularising and enhancing the rings; and inside POV-Ray files: adjusting coordinates, changing light source and other parameters) is public domain and source files used are described at User:84user/Size comparison.

Physical information is based on the Wikipedia articles about the respective bodies. The colour of OGLE-TR-122b is based on an artist's rendition at [1].

Paul Stansifer's contributions to this image (mainly star surfaces such as OGLE-TR-122b) are available under the GPL, v. 2, and other licenses. See User:Paul Stansifer/Size comparison for more details and the other licenses.
