Speaking of Traveller, I've just posted a reference diagram at 
http://www.flash.net/~maserati/ID/jovianCampaign.html as a 
visualization aid for Full Thrust-based games around a gas giant. The 
one picture online to date has the first three major moons of Jupiter 
(Io, Europa and Ganymede in alignment, with Thebe actually present 
but not visible). I included a 36" sphere to provide a reference for 
Full Thrust gaming.

The scale I'm using came from something called "The SolarSystem 
chart" for Full Thrust. My copy is unattributed, does anyone know who 
produced this ?
