Number nine? *looks it up* *snickers* Sinbad wanted to have funny names? There you are:
number nine is "My Cephei" (1420 times the sun's diameter) ... for Sinbad: Herschel called it "Granatstern" ;D
@kriss: And it's a cool one, eh?

Beteigeuze (this is what we call it over here)? Well, it's only about 1000 times the sun's diameter - meaning it is number 10 on the list.  |
