Talk:L1551 IRS 5

There have been a couple of edits on this page and on List of largest stars about this star having a radius of 10,600 R☉. This is clearly unacceptable and will never be as stars can not have radii over ~2,544 R☉ and because you can't just make random numbers at the top of your head and say that is the star's real size. The large size has a ref: ^[1] but it clearly isn't a reliable source because of the fake numbers used there and has no based citations. Therefore, that site and number are obsolete. It is possible that 10,600 R☉ is the radius of the protostar dust cloud, not the star itself. The star itself has a «real» radius of 0.212 R☉. The value is verifiable but I can't find a source for it. --Joey P. - THE OFFICIAL (talk) 21:23, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
