Huh. It’s not as big as expected. It’s only 10x or so the diameter of Jupiter.

Well you have to consider that it is in 3 dimensions. The addition of depth make it many more times the size of Jupiter.

Still impressive.. Never seizes to amaze me. The to scale comparisons vs. other much bigger stars is also impressive, but I think the actual sizies of those super giant stars are quite a bit smaller.. Their sizes are theorized and are adjusted quite frequently. However, it is very clear that they are at least many times larger than our sun. Crazy to think about..
