Vega is catalogued in this registry as a star, held in the frame of Milky Way, from Local universe (curated).
Registry id VEGA ·
source layer local-universe ·
provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented
Open Vega in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.
| Quantity | Value | Uncertainty | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radius | 1.64185×10^9 m (0.0109751 au) | no published uncertainty in this registry | Local universe (curated) |
| Mass | 4.25629×10^30 kg | no published uncertainty in this registry | Local universe (curated) |
| Temperature | 9602 K | no published uncertainty in this registry | Local universe (curated) |
Each row carries its own uncertainty and its own source. Where a row says no uncertainty is published, that is what the catalogue says — it is not a claim that the value is exact.
