LINEUP_STARSconstant
The stars of the line-up with their radii, smallest first: the Sun, Sirius A, Vega, Arcturus, Aldebaran, Rigel, Antares, Betelgeuse, VY Canis Majoris, WOH G64, UY Scuti and Stephenson 2-18. Each radius comes from a refereed
paper that measured the star's angular diameter and used a distance, except where the row's basis says otherwise; NOTICE.md and the guide list the sources and every disagreement.
