North America compared to Mars
North America compared to Jupiter
How big are the planets in our solar system? Numerical descriptions in miles or kilometers are precise, but may be hard to grasp mentally. John Brady of Astronomy Central has helpfully provided several illustrations by placing satellite images of North America over NASA space probe photos of other planets.
Besides planets, Brady also provides images of a neutron star over northern England and Olympus Mons over North America.

Too often fidgety management seems to feel like they ought to be *doing* something. "Helping", in their minds. Don't. We got it. That one *little* thing you want to change for no reason beyond whimsy? It's not little when I have to redo the models and the drawings and lag the machine shop who just got done doing the tooling. And that's not even considering how many other issues your *little* addition is creating inadvertently that now have to be addressed. So, while I know it bruises your already ropey ego, shut up, go away, and let me do my job. Don't you have a report to file or something?
