I Was using SE to make time pass away (duh lol) when i found a desert planet with a huge ¨atmosphere tail¨ (evaporation) so i got the idea of this challenge
Ill post a pic (Attachment) soon
Edit: Here it is (it says it is 0.354 AU away because the tail is apparently bigger than the main system)(Planets)

Check this one out, it's at least 140 AU long at the most intense.

at least 140 AU

You're barely more than 2 AU away, and that tail does not seem to extend farther than the same distance your camera is. Therefore, I very much doubt the 140 AU assessment.

Yeah I'll double check. (also SE just crashed while loading a view I had on a moon of a gas giant in the system :P )

Edit: Oh wait a minute, the system diameter includes the furthest comet orbits, somehow I thought it was the furthest planetary orbit.

Editwhile posting: Yeah the furthest planet's orbit isn't even a full AU distant.

Still a spectacular sight though.
