Well_known_stars_2.png


Summary

Description
English: Some of the well-known stars are shown with their apparent colors and relative sizes. Suggested alt-text: Several circles (~25) of different sizes representing well-known stars to scale are shown with their apparent colors. The three largest stars, each occupying about 1/8th of the picture are the orange stars UY Scuti, Betelgeuse, and Antares. The next few large stars are all blue/white in color, including Deneb, Sadr, and Rigel. Many smaller stars are also shown, some orange, some blue/white. A label for the Sun is shown but the star itself is only visible upon zooming in. Relative to Betelgeuse, the Sun is a tiny dot.
