No link. However, look at the 3rd and 4th images. Compare the diameter to that of the Sun's known diameter. Do a little math. The 200,000 miles is my best guess based on that comparison. It could be a bit bigger or a bit smaller, but my approximation has to be in the ballpark.

As for the flares, someone posted some video of a DIFFERENT object than the Sun, highly detailed, showing it gouting some flares from its 'south pole'. Our Sun was not doing that, so it was a different sun. It had to be that thing. No way they got that detailed of a pic of any sun outside the inner system. NASA was sneaky though - they either waited until it showed as the same rough size as the Sun in the images, or they zoomed in until it looked similar in size, to try to slip one by us, then the next frame they swiveled back to viewing the normal Sun. I didn't save the link - I'm not out to inform the world here. The world would panic if they knew what was lurking nearby right now. I don't want to see any panic. It will come soon enough on its own.
