I heard some complaints about all stars looking the same no matter the size, because we drop into systems at different distances from the star (depending on it's size, mass/gravity, temperature? ...)
So I made some screenshots of Sol (our sun), Betelgeuse (one of the most known huge stars) and VY Canis Majoris (biggest known star), for visual comparison of their size.
Betelgeuse at drop-in point - 2702ls:
Sol at 2702ls:
VY Canis Majoris at drop-in - 5991ls:
Sol at 5991ls:
VY Canis Majoris at 10000ls:
This thing is still gigantic!
Sol at 10000ls:
And for those that love walls of fire:
VY Canis Majoris at approx. 3000ls, didn't dare going closer
