In this awesome poster we see every extraterrestrial body we have landed on and photographed. The original image was shared yesterday on reddit but a commenter astutely noted that the visual forget to mention Itokawa, a tiny asteroid that measures approximately 630 ± 60 m long and 250 ± 30 m wide. In the updated poster above, I added a photo from Itokawa to the image.

Itokawa was the target of Japan’s Hayabusa space probe and is the smallest asteroid ever photographed by a spacecraft. It was officially named after Hideo Itokawa, a Japanese rocket scientist. [source]
