Yep. It would be interesting to figure out how big vs how far away it would
have to be. I mean, the moon is much smaller, the sun is much larger, but
they both look the same size. Actually, I guess it's linear, so it isn't too
hard to calculate.
By the way, I'm pretty sure stars aren't all that bright. I think it's just
because they're large that they seem bright. I.e., per square inch, I don't
think they're a lot brighter than what you can build on earth easily.
(Brighter than street lights, certainly.)
