Ever wondered how big the sun, or largest known star is?

Quick GIF animation I threw together. The circles and stuff were done in ItelliCAD. This zooms out from the earth to the orbit of Pluto, showing the orbit of some other planets along the way, as well as the size of the sun, the well known star Betelgeuse (left shoulder of Orion, the bright orange star), and the size of the three newest, largest known stars (all 3 are about the same size, so 1 circle is used).

Their size will shock you.

Thats cool but aren't the obits eliptical not perfect circles?

also I didn't see anything about Betelgeuse or Ford Prefect anywhere in that animation

I used average distances for the orbits.
