... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Site Info . ... There was an interesting discussion recently on the USENET bulletin boards about the sizes of stars. ... Sometimes, though, it does look like the stars have some sort of width to them, but this is not because the stars are big, but instead because the Earth's atmosphere distorts the stars' images. Tiny cells of air in the Earth's atmosphere are constantly dancing about, and they act like tiny lenses, bending the stars' light. ...
