I shot this image recently of the star Rigel.
Look closely to the upper right, close to Rigel, you'll see it's companion star about nine seconds of arc away. Rigel is a blue super-giant about 900 light years away.
Rigel is many times the size of our sun. Our sun would appear like a small dot compared to Rigel.
In fact, to put things in perspective, our sun would be about as large as Rigel's companion is to Rigel.
