Where is the one showing our Sun alongside a big star..what's the big ones name ? Scutie or something..I will check.

I had such on my phone and got great joy out of showing it to folk who thought this world was made just for them personally and watch that glazed look come over.

You could keep going out to the Milky Way then the local group...

Antares radius of 473.08* million k's according to wiki, that's a circumference of nearly 3 billion k's. Neptune sits around 2.88 billion k's from the sun... the world rocks in around 40,075k at the equator...

(*Though the range of the diameter may vary by .947 to 1.114 billion k's....)
