Re: Tycho G is possibly the progenitor's companion (2009 Mar
Is that a very red star or some sort of photography artifact located at 11:00 just outside the SNR?

The only way the sun could appear that large in relation to Eris is in a telescopic view from much farther out. However, that would make the observer see almost entirely the dark side and since that is not the case, I agree the artist's perspective is deeply flawed.
