Poor Saturn so nekkid without her rings. Not the hot kinda naked weither; more the vulnerable type.

If you were that far from the sun, yours would be too.

I haven't looked recently.
There is instructions out there for the 1000 yard Solar system that might be interesting (Our Astronomy club is setting up one for Astronomy Day). The Sun is a bowling ball and you set the planets out at intervals until you get to Pluto which is a pin head at 1000 yards. Earth is a peppercorn 26 yards away from the Sun.
There is lots of empty space out there...kinda like in a liberals brain...but fuller

now IIRC, isn't Antares a red giant, and therefore like 3000 degrees cooler than the sun, and while it has more mass isn't it still on the order of something like 22,000,000 times less dense than the sun because of its huge radius?
