Stars Size Comparison

Compare sizes (and more) of known stars using SpaceEngine!

I copied many well-known stars of various sizes and placed them into one star system. The result is a mess of over 50 stars, which I have placed in the middle of an intergalactic void to avoid causing planets to disappear. The resulting system is bright but not visible from nearby galaxies.

**NOTE: Despite my efforts to avoid this, the system can cause galaxies near it to take a very long time to load, so you might want to disable this addon in the launchpad or unsubscribe from this when you are not intending to use this anymore.**

For this to work, open the chart mode. Remember to set the minimum object size slider all the way to the left to be able to see (relatively) tiny stars. You can view by size, mass, density, and temperature (though temperature is computed by the engine).

The system name is "Size Comparison." The data for the stars I copied off of the data already in SpaceEngine, except for the Ton 618 Central Black Hole, which doesn't exist in SpaceEngine. I used the $ symbol (with a space) to prevent naming conflicts with the actual stars in SpaceEngine.
