Correct, but the link for "super jupiter" also goes to something that astronomers are fairly sure is 1.38x the diameter of Jupiter. Much less massive of course. Meaning Jupiter's diameter is not an absolute hard limit nothing can be larger than.

It also orbits its star in only under 5 days, so a few theoretical visualization/renderings of it would probably be quite spectacular.

Nobody said it was, he said it was "pretty much". Y'all can't read anymore.
