Charon was far too small, and Image:Charon_plutoface.png was scaled and used to rectify this.
Proteus was added, Image:Proteus (Voyager 2).jpg was used
Noise in the Nereid image was color-filtered out
Ariel was only partially seen, so NASA image http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA01351.jpg was used
Similarly, Rhea and Tethys had bad quality images, and Image:Rhea hi-res PIA07763.jpg as well as the NASA image http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA06625.jpg were scaled and inserted instead
Phobos , Deimos , and Dactyl were far too large to be in scale, and this was rectified.
Hyperion , was too large, so the newer Cassini image http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA07740.jpg was used and scaled.
The moon image was distorted (elongated in the horizontal direction), http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA00305.jpg was used
Satellites of w:Trans-Neptunian objects greater than ~250 km in diameter were added (synthetic images)
Inserted scale text and modified title.

Title changed
Earth image changed to Image:The_Earth_seen_from_Apollo_17.jpg .
Aligned Mars and Ida moons; aligned "others".
Replaced blurry Ganymede with PD image from http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Ganymede .

Ganymede colour has been scaled to correspond to the true colour found in Image:Ganymede g1 true.jpg .

Dactyl (Asteroid Ida) and Dysnomia (Eris) were removed.
Updated images of Saturn's moons from Cassini spacecraft (except Phoebe).
Updated Moon image with full moon image from Galileo spacecraft (facing side from the Earth).
