Re: relative size/mass
Celestia does not hold information about mass, but does display Luminosity and Radius of the selected star in terms of Solar values (in the top-left corner of the display).
eg. The star Alderamin:
You may need to toggle the verbosity of Celestia's info displays to see these values.
eg. The star Alderamin:
- Luminosity: 20.3 x Sun
...
Radius: 2.4RSun
You may need to toggle the verbosity of Celestia's info displays to see these values.

Re: relative size/mass
