Parts-per-million chart of the relative mass distribution of the Solar System, each cubelet denoting 2 × 10 24 kg. This article includes a list of the most massive known objects of the Solar System and partial lists of smaller objects by observed mean radius.
In this map of the Observable Universe, objects appear enlarged to show their shape. From left to right celestial bodies are arranged according to their proximity to the Earth. This horizontal (distance to Earth) scale is logarithmic.
This was once the smallest known actively fusing star, when found in 2005, through 2013. It is the smallest eclipsing red dwarf, and smallest observationally measured diameter. [102] [103] [104] CoRoT-15b: 82,200 Brown dwarf [105] VB 10: 82,300 Red dwarf: It was the smallest known star from 1948 to 1981. [106] TRAPPIST-1: 82,925
The size of the star was obtained using asteroseismology; [7] Kepler-37 is currently the smallest star to be studied using this process. [6] This allowed the size of Kepler-37b to be determined "with extreme accuracy". [6] To date, Kepler-37b is the smallest planet discovered around a main-sequence star [b] outside the Solar System. [4]
Kepler-37e is listed with a radius of 0.37 ± 0.18 R 🜨 in the Exoplanet Archive based on KOI data, but the existence of this planet is doubtful, [21] and assuming its existence, a 2023 study found a mass of 8.1 ± 1.7 M 🜨, inconsistent with such a small radius.
Discovered through gamma-ray burst mapping. Largest-known regular formation in the observable universe. [8] Huge-LQG (2012–2013) 4,000,000,000 [9] [10] [11] Decoupling of 73 quasars. Largest-known large quasar group and the first structure found to exceed 3 billion light-years. "The Giant Arc" (2021) 3,300,000,000 [12] Located 9.2 billion ...
The smallest penguin species is the little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor), which stands around 30–33 cm (12–13 in) tall and weighs 1.2–1.3 kg (2.6–2.9 lb). [73] The smallest bird of prey is the Black-thighed falconet (Microhierax fringillarius), with a wingspan of 27–32 centimetres (11–13 in), roughly the size of a sparrow. [74]
Euler diagram showing the types of bodies orbiting the Sun. The following is a list of Solar System objects by orbit, ordered by increasing distance from the Sun.Most named objects in this list have a diameter of 500 km or more.
