Describe the star at a system's centre as it is drawn now, not by the innermost-orbit rule and its halo
The README still said the star was sized against its innermost orbit and made visible by a halo, two things7213f98and2242fe0removed. It now says what the view draws: the star at its own radius on the orbits' scale, the archive's for a host and derived from luminosity and temperature otherwise, marked "from colour and brightness" on the card; a limb-darkened disc in its blackbody's colour, lighting its planets in that colour against the Sun's; a grey point where nothing gives a size or temperature (5aac46d); the three-pixel floor and no halo; the camera held at 0.05 AU or three radii, whichever is further, and a giant framed inside its neighbours' ring (d1aa22e). Measured on :4302 at 1600 by 1000 against published radii: Sun 1.0000 R☉ (card "1.00 solar radii"); Proxima Centauri 0.1410, the archive's st_rad (0.154 in Boyajian et al. 2012); Sirius A 1.7943, derived, card "~1.8 solar radii, from colour and brightness" (1.711); TRAPPIST-1 0.1192 (0.119). The star's light: Sun (1, 1, 1), Proxima (1, 0.523, 0.165), TRAPPIST-1 (1, 0.443, 0.095), ups And (F8V) (0.899, 0.937, 1), Sirius (0.52, 0.666, 1), intensity pi in every one.
