just how big is our sun?

its really really freaking big, about ONE MILLION planet earths would fill our sun.

now look at how ridiculously small it is in comparison to the largest star SCIENCE! has discovered.

  1. I once watched a movie on something like this. It showed how earth was compared to the sun and then the sun to a bigger start and things just kept getting bigger. Crazy!!

  3. Yeah, and how much can we actually see of the universe just from our vantage point. I'm sure there's probably a star out there that dwarfs VY.

    Universe is big. Yea yea!

    It's not small? No No!!
