I really like this guide on the size of planets & stars:
http://www.rense.com/general72/size.htm
And I just found this, I worked it out myself a year or 2 ago when I was trying to understand the distance between nearby objects:
* If the moon were represented by a grain of sand, the Earth would be like a pea and 22cm away.
* The Sun would be the size of a washing machine, 86 metres away
* Jupiter would be the size of an apple, ½ kilometre from the washing-machine sun
* Pluto would be less than grain of sand and a lonely 4km away

[QUOTE=AlfredJPruffock;906534]Time - is not what you think it is.
True
It's at least two dimensional
Otherwise how could you turn around and go back?

Time - is not what you think it is.
Remember
now
be here now
As its not like it was before.
The Past
gone
be here now
As its not like it was before
Why ?
try to live a life,
That isn't You ?
That isnt Real ?
A Mind
that wants to wander
round that corner
Is an unwise Mind
Now
Is
be here now
And its not what it was before
Time
to be
Forgotten
Fade
Into
ForeverLast edited by AlfredJPruffock; 31 July 2009, 13:10.

"Our understanding of time, Einstein said, is based on its relationship to our environment. Weirdly, the faster you travel, the slower time moves. The most radical interpretation of his theory: Past, present, and future are merely figments of our imagination, constructs built by our brains so that everything doesn’t seem to happen at once."

This artist’s impression shows the supergiant star Betelgeuse as it was revealed thanks to different state-of-the-art techniques on ESO’s Very Large Telescope, which allowed two independent teams of astronomers to obtain the sharpest ever views of the supergiant star Betelgeuse. They show that the star has a vast plume of gas almost as large as our Solar System and a gigantic bubble boiling on its surface. These discoveries provide important clues to help explain how these mammoths shed material at such a tremendous rate.

You should worry about a star a lot closer to home.
Why hasn't there been any sunspots?
