40 Eridani B This star/White Dwarf that is bigger than Earth.
This drawing compares the Earth to the white dwarf, 40 Eridani B. The star is part of a triple star system about 16-17 light years from Earth.
This is 40 Eridani B or some people know it as 40 Eridanus B or Vulcan's Sun. This is a white dwarf but it looks blue because it is one of the hottest stars.
Pictured below is a picture of Eridani A, B, and C in a high powered telescope.
