Extrasolar: Stars:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Summary: | A comparison of stars arranged by size from VY Canis Majoris the humble Neutron Star. |
| Description: | This add-on places many stars (such as VY Cma, Eta Carinae, both Alpha Centaurii, and Proxima) in order from largest to smallest. It also includes Sag A* which is the super-massive black hole at the galactic core. Due to large varieties in the measurements of the largest stars I had to pick a reasonable number. To install this add-on simply place it in your EXTRAS folder. Once in Celestia simply use the ENTER-SIZE COMPARISON-ENTER-G method. NOTE: Due to the large combined brightness I highly recommend setting star style to SCALED DISCS. Please see the READ ME for more information. |

hmm... the addon is overall good but have several issues.
First, this addon is OLD, outdated.
Second, some stars disappear in the night sky. Ej. Betelgeuse.
Third, when you go to a star near to the star comparison barycenter, appears a very bright, unreal star.

I suggest you to add a [SC] or similar to the add-on's stars names. Naming the stars of this add-on with the real names will cause the substitution of the real stars. After I installed this Aldebaran, Betelgeuse a and other simply desappeared from the earth's sky, because they were replaced by your add-on's stars. Anyway, good job indeed!

Good work. However, VY Canis Majoris is actualy 2100 times larger than the Sun and WOH G64 is actualy 2000 times larger than the Sun. You made VY Canis Majoris 2000 times larger than the Sun and WOH G64 1900 times larger than the Sun. Can you fix that?
