The scales of the stars (fulldome)

Just how big is the Sun in comparison to other stars? This fulldome video shows the scales of known stars in our Milky Way galaxy and shows you just how big, or small, the Sun really is. This short video was taken from the planetarium show, The Sun — Our Living Star. A flat extended version of this animation is available here.
