Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Moons of solar system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moons of the solar system to scale with the Earth.
Edit 1 - Titan image replaced with Image:Titan in natural color Cassini.jpg, Triton and Nereid moved down a bit in an attempt to avoid giving the impression that Triton is bowl-shaped
Edit 2 - Edit1's changes, plus title changed to address Fg2's comments, lame Earth drawing replaced with Image:The_Earth_seen_from_Apollo_17.jpg
Edit 3 - Edit 2, plus, per Michaelas10: I aligned Mars and Ida moons. Aligned "others". Replaced blurry Ganymede with public domain image
Edit 4 - as Edit 3, but Ganymede colour scaled to true colour as found in Image:Ganymede g1 true.jpg
Edit 5 - as Edit 4, but Triton tilted, unaesthetically-named cubewanoes removed, Dysnomia labelled as orbiting Eris
Reason
Very encyclopaedic and attractive image, high res and easy to understand. Couldn't really illustrate the natural satellites of our solar system any better.
