The more massive planet seems to be smaller. I wonder if it’s because it’s more distant or simply more dense. I suspect the latter. Both of the planets seem to be behind the star. Otherwise you’d expect to see only partial illumination. But it’s odd that the more massive planet seems to be more distant even though it’s actually only half the distance of the other planet from the star.
