Size It Up Space answer: October 7
The five Space silhouettes for October 7, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.
Day 34 ran from Pan (28 km) to Kepler-22 (1,209,000 km). The widest gap was round 4, Mercury against Dione, at 4.3×; the closest call was round 3, Pandora against Prometheus, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
SPOILER · TODAY’S FIVE
You have not finished today’s puzzle on this device. The answers below are blurred so you can still play first.
-
ROUND 1
Pan (Saturn’s moon · mean diameter) vs Atlas (Saturn’s moon · mean diameter)
Atlas · reference · 30.2 km Pan · true diameter · 28 km 1.1× shorter than Atlas
Pan, a moon of Saturn, has a mean diameter of about 28 km. This is the body’s size, not an orbital distance.
-
ROUND 2
Kepler-22 (estimated stellar diameter) vs GJ 436 (estimated stellar diameter)
GJ 436 · reference · 633,100 km Kepler-22 · true diameter · 1,209,000 km 1.9× wider than GJ 436
Kepler-22 has an estimated stellar diameter of about 1,209,126.6 km. This is the body’s size, not an orbital distance.
-
ROUND 3
Pandora (Saturn’s moon · mean diameter) vs Prometheus (Saturn’s moon · mean diameter)
Prometheus · reference · 86.2 km Pandora · true diameter · 81.2 km 1.1× shorter than Prometheus
Pandora, a moon of Saturn, has a mean diameter of about 81.2 km. This is the body’s size, not an orbital distance.
-
ROUND 4
Mercury (mean diameter) vs Dione (Saturn’s moon · mean diameter)
Dione · reference · 1,123 km Mercury · true diameter · 4,879 km 4.3× wider than Dione
Mercury has a mean diameter of about 4,878.8 km. This is the body’s size, not an orbital distance.
-
ROUND 5
TRAPPIST-1 (estimated stellar diameter) vs LHS 1140 (estimated stellar diameter)
LHS 1140 · reference · 300,400 km TRAPPIST-1 · true diameter · 165,900 km 1.8× shorter than LHS 1140
TRAPPIST-1 has an estimated stellar diameter of about 165,854.9 km. This is the body’s size, not an orbital distance.
