| Description |
English: Comparison of size of the Kuiper belt (large faint torus) with the star VY Canis Majoris (within Saturn's orbit), Betelgeuse (inside Jupiter's orbit) and R Doradus (small central red sphere) together with the orbits of Neptune and Uranus, to scale. The yellow ellipses represent the orbits of each planet. No transparency version. |

derived from Paul Stansifer's POV-Ray source files (see below), by me, 84user, using w:en:POV-Ray, and w:en:IrfanView. 84user's contribution (inside POV-Ray files: adapting Paul's star macros for Rigel and Aldebaran, adjusting coordinates, changing light source and other parameters) is public domain and source files used are described at User:84user/Size comparison. Physical information is based on the Wikipedia articles and elsewhere (see POVRay source files) about the respective bodies, and most star colours taken from http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/starcolor/. Paul Stansifer's contributions to this image (mainly star surfaces) are available under the GPL, v. 2, and other licenses. See User:Paul Stansifer/Size comparison for more details and the other licenses. |
