Music used:
"Stay the Course" by Kevin MacLeod
Notes:
- Planets and moons are NOT to scale with each other.
- While all moons are included in the count, only moons with a 400km radius or higher are visually depicted. (There'd be no room to show/label them all.)
- Images can vary in color due to the method of imaging.
- While new images are taken of planets often, not all are of the entire planet. So the chosen planet image only updates when there is a better whole-planet image or released composite image.
