So I found an S-Star

This Thing Is massive! :eek:
 
Is it massive? Or is it voluminous? Either way, your screen shot does nothing to convey either. =-\

I found one the other day that I was 115 ls away from but it had the apparent size of most stars are when you're 4ish ls away. Looking at its stats it had a radius of 25 solar radii, and a mass of .25 solar masses. I keep meaning to head out to VY Canis Majoris, but I've not gotten around to it.

Ditto, but you'r eright, other than knowning you're further out, there's nothing "impressive" about super massive stars... you ahve to look at youre nav computer to tell your thousands of light seconds out rather than 4 to even know that they're super massive.
 
Is this from 400ls away? Then it is really huge. Nice that I, from a very large distance, could join live in the discovery via text chat!
Greetings en grats, Commander
 
Nice! I like the look of brown dwarfs, looks so different to other main sequence stars!
Wanna see my encounter of "massive"?
Found this on my way to the core.

Notice the small L class orbiting this red super giant!
 
Ok I admit to having posted this elsewhere before, but it's still a nice example of putting super giants into size context, in a similar vein to the above post.
