Description1e17m comparison 100 light years nebula clusters.png | English: Comparison of lengths and sizes with order of magnitude 1e17m: hundred light year radius shell with yellow Vernal Point arrow as radius and 10 light year circle at right; globular cluster Messier 5 in background; 12 light year radius Orion Nebula middle right; 50 light year wide view of the Carina Nebula bottom left; Pleiades cluster and Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) with similar diameters each around 10 light years bottom right; grey arrows show distances from Sun to stars Aldebaran (65 light years) and Vega (25 light years). All distances and sizes approximately to scale. No transparency version. |

derived from Paul Stansifer's POV-Ray source files (see below), by me, 84user, using w:en:POV-Ray, and w:en:IrfanView. 84user's contribution (inside POV-Ray files: adjusting coordinates, changing light source and other parameters) is public domain and source files used are described at User:84user/Size comparison. Physical information is based on the Wikipedia articles and elsewhere (see POVRay source files) about the respective lengths. Paul Stansifer's contributions to this image (POV-Ray code) are available under the GPL, v. 2, and other licenses. See User:Paul Stansifer/Size comparison for more details and the other licenses. |

Licensing
Because this image was rendered using Paul Stanfiser's POV GPL v2 source code together with separately licensed source images, it is an aggregated derivative. Therefore you must apply all applicable licenses.
