It was THIS BIG

Some interesting star news. But the real reason I am linking this is the "artist's conception." It is noted that the picture is to illustrate the comparative size of this massive star to our own Sun. The massive star is believed to be 150 time more massive than our Sun, and about 200 times the diameter. Just looking at the drawing I would have to say that the artist has greatly exaggerated the size of this star in her "conception." I will look at this closer when I get home from work, and can put the image into Photoshop to determine how close this comparison really is. Stay tuned.
