@futurebird There are a few games I play where they do somewhat realistic simulations of astral bodies. The most realistic, of course, is Elite Dangerous. You can fly towards a red giant and struggle even to get a feel for its size even going faster than light.
But another game I had been getting into a lot in recent times is Empyrion. It's not super realistic, but at the same time, the fact you can walk around on verdant worlds and look up and see what's in the sky makes a difference for pulling you in more IMO.
Anyway, the point I'm getting to in my roundabout way is several worlds orbit gas giants and the like and sometimes you can look up during the day and it's just floating in the sky dominating your view. It really gives you a sense of scale...
(I had to google for an image.)
