My quote is here. Why is that? There is no guarantee that data will be available even DR4. The article says: "In addition, there are many very bright stars of particular interest and Gaia data may help us to refine our knowledge of their properties. This paper is , so there might be more results unbeknown to me. This problem could easily be solved by placing two radiotelescopes in orbit around the sun for the sake of interferometery, and the size of the arpeture!
We places one telescope one quarter ahead of the Earth, the other satellite one quarter ahead of the Earth, in it's orbit, then triangulate! This Week's Sky At a Glance.

Peter Wilson November 9, at pm Radii for Betelgeuse may also be diffuse. Log in to Reply You must be logged in to post a comment. Andrew James November 9, at pm Nicely put. Tsagar April 9, at pm Pardon my naivete but I do have a doubt. Rod November 7, at am Very interesting report. Alan Potts November 8, at am Excellent article Monica. Alan Potts November 8, at am Or, alternatively, the vaporized planet's remains could presently be at a significantly greater distance, having been pushed back by the radiation pressure since the time of vaporization and subsequent dust formation.
Alan Potts November 10, at am Sorry, but my hypothesis is that the remnants of a vaporized planet, not a standard planet produced the dimming dust.
Andrew James November 10, at pm There is no evidence for this. My comments and this story are towards the star's size not about recent dimming. John-Murrell November 10, at am Apparently Gaia should be able to measure the parallax for Betelgeuse using a 'special mode'.
Andrew James November 10, at pm GAIA will not improve the problem of radius nor distance, as the parallax of c. John-Murrell November 13, at pm Andrew, my information that the parallax could be measured by Gaia comes from quite close to the senior scientists for the Gaia mission. Andrew James November 13, at pm My quote is here. This means scientists like to place stars and suns next to our own Sun to see how these objects compare.
The solar radius is , km and the mass is 4. Supergiant stars are the largest stars, and they are much larger than our own Sun. Some of them are thousands of times bigger than the Sun. Betelgeuse, which happens to be the 9th brightest star in the sky, is much larger than our Sun. The radius of this star is up to times than of our sun.
That means if Betelgeuse was placed where our sun is now, it would eat Jupiter. If you think Betelgeuse is large, it does not even compare to the largest star we have located. Global warming. Dwarf planets. Close stars. Brightest stars.

Category: Planets and dwarf planets Updated June 01, These four terrestrial planets represent only Image: Comparative sizes of trans-Neptunian objects, located in the Kuiper Belt, compared to the size of the Earth left. Image: Compare the size of Neptune with the Earth. In this picture you can see the dark blue anticyclone, comparable to the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, that it is twice as large pictured right.
It is thanks to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which astronomers can easily calculate the radii of the stars see note below. In , the Austrian physicist Josef Stefan, who is interested in radiation from hot bodies, discovers that the total energy emitted by an object is proportional to the 4th power of its absolute temperature.
