I thought this was a cool blender animation.

I saw an error. Phobos and Deimos sizes are all wrong. They're tiny asteroids, not huge lumps as shown in the video.

Well, you wouldn't be able to see them if they were scale, eh? The video producers probably wanted to show what they looked like.

And they show Earth as being tiny compared to Uranus or Neptune. It's actually similar to the comparison between Earth and Moon.

Yeah, they showed that. Uranus and Neptune are about 4X the size of Earth, and the Earth is about 4X the size of the moon. It may not be spot-on, but close enough.

-EDIT- I double checked it, yeah the animation is out a bit. Oh well. It's just a video.

If the point is to show stuff to scale, then it's wrong. :D

But yeah, they wouldn't be visible at such poor resolution. This is to scale.
