    Being a fan of The Expanse this is really cool. It really puts the size of a lot of the moons and dwarf planets from the series into perspective. Ganymede for example, was used by pregnant mothers in the outer-system because it was large enough to still have an active core and thus a magnetosphere. Shielding the surface from a lot of radiation. Their main food crops were grown there for the same reason.

    Io, Callisto, Europa, Eris, Titan, Ceres, and a few others all make appearances too. It’s an amazing series, for those who haven’t read/seen it, whether you read the books or watch the show.
