Size It Up Space answer: October 14
The five Space silhouettes for October 14, 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 41 ran from Pandora (81.2 km) to HD 209458 (1,656,000 km). The widest gap was round 3, Titania against Mimas, at 4.0×; the closest call was round 5, Janus against Pandora, only 2.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
