ERRATA to data tables on companion map IB2447 "Mapping the Solar System." Some early copies of "Mapping the Solar System" had a few errors in the data tables. The correct values are:
Triton-mass 0.0036 (incorrect value is 0.0056)
Oberon-semi-major axis of orbit 583,400 (incorrect value is 387,000)
Pan-orbit period 0.58 (incorrect value is .294)
Callisto-mean radius 2404 (incorrect value is 3404)
Ganymede-mass 0.0249 (incorrect value is 0.0175)
