Wakusei Planets by John Morris (MIT). Sizes at true relative scale; each star's radius is from a refereed paper that measured its angular diameter (sources and disagreements in the package's NOTICE.md). The stars are drawn from their numbers, not photographs: the cells, spots and glow are illustrative. Earth and Jupiter: IAU and NASA sizes.
