The five space objects from the Size It Up puzzle on October 20, 2026, with the measured size of each, the reference it was compared against, a source you can check, and how the community's guesses landed. Want the surprise first? Replay this puzzle — archived days never touch your streak.
The October 20, 2026 puzzle ran from the Hubble Space Telescope at 13.1 m to Jupiter at 139,820 km — 7 orders of magnitude apart, drawing on space. The pair furthest apart was round 1: the Hubble Space Telescope is 1.5× as big as a Stegosaurus.
ROUND 1
How long is the Hubble Space Telescope compared with a Stegosaurus?
Answer: Hubble Space Telescope — 13.1 m. The Hubble Space Telescope measures 13.1 m (length / span), which is 1.5× as big as the reference, a Stegosaurus at 9 m.
Hubble is roughly the size of a school bus, which is exactly what the Shuttle’s cargo bay was built to hold.
Common miss: players tend to compress the Hubble Space Telescope when it sits beside a Stegosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
How tall is a Saturn V rocket compared with the Statue of Liberty?
Answer: Saturn V Rocket — 110.6 m. A Saturn V rocket measures 110.6 m (height), which is 1.2× as big as the reference, the Statue of Liberty at 93 m.
Saturn V stood taller than the Statue of Liberty without its pedestal.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Saturn V rocket when it sits beside the Statue of Liberty — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
How tall is a Starship launch stack compared with a Saturn V rocket?
Answer: Starship Launch Stack — 121 m. A Starship launch stack measures 121 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a Saturn V rocket at 110.6 m.
The complete Starship launch stack is about 121 metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Starship launch stack when it sits beside a Saturn V rocket — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
