Excalbia looks like Io

In the remastered version of "The Savage Curtain", I noticed that they made the planet Excalbia look a lot like the moon Io except without the giant volcanic eruptions. Anyone else notice that?

      I just noticed that it seems like they made the Earth-like environment on Excalbia way too big. I was under the impression that it was a few square kilomters in size. But the remanstered version makes it look as if it's the size of the U.S. Unless Excalibia is way smaller than Earth. And if that was the case, wouldn't Excalbia have the look of a typical irregularly-shaped asteroid? And it wouldn't have gravity that's around the same strength as Earth, and I doubt it'd be volcanic either.

        "An area of approximately 1 ,000 square kilometers.
        It measures completely earth-like."

        They screwed up the planetoid in "Lights of Zetar" too. But it does look impressive and volcanic. Thanks for the photo!
