Comment Comment by krisoft > The outer ring is about 240 astronomical units in diameter.That is huge. Just reference for those who don't feel "astronomical units": One astronomical unit (AU) is (roughly) the Earth-Sun distance.Distances to compare with: Pluto is ~39 AU away from the sun. Voyager 1, the furthest probe of humanity right now, is ~160 AU away from the sun.So in other words: that is mind-bogglingly large.(If you want to read more about astronomical units: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_unit ) parent krisoft 3 years ago
